Feedback stabilization of spin systems

Abstract

The feedback stabilization problem for ensembles of coupled spin 1/2 systems is discussed. The noninvasive nature of the bulk measurement allows for a fully unitary and deterministic closed loop. The Lyapunov-based feedback design does not require that the spins are selectively addressable.

Feedback control of spin systems

Claudio Altafini

The feedback stabilization problem for ensembles of coupled spin 1/2 systems is discussed from a control theoretic perspective. The noninvasive nature of the bulk measurement allows for a fully unitary and deterministic closed loop. The Lyapunov-based feedback design presented does not require spins that are selectively addressable. With this method, it is possible to obtain control inputs also for difficult tasks, like suppressing undesired couplings in identical spin systems.

Feedback control of quantum state reduction

Ramon van Handel, John K. Stockton, Hideo Mabuchi

Feedback control of quantum mechanical systems must take into account the probabilistic nature of quantum measurement. We formulate quantum feedback control as a problem of stochastic nonlinear control by considering separately a quantum filtering problem and a state feedback control problem for the filter. We explore the use of stochastic Lyapunov techniques for the design of feedback controllers for quantum spin systems and demonstrate the possibility of stabilizing one outcome of a quantum measurement with unit probability.

Lyapunov-based control of quantum systems

Symeon Grivopoulos, Bassam A. Bamieh

We propose feedback control laws for quantum systems, based on Lyapunov design. These feedback laws locally asymptotically stabilize any desired eigenstate of the system Hamiltonian. The target eigenstate and the size of its region of attraction can be tailored by the choice of design parameters. These feedback control laws are used to design open loop controls for state transfer problems. We illustrate the method with a transfer problem between bound states of a molecular Morse oscillator.

Tracking control of single spin-1/2 quantum ensembles

Shizhou Fu, Shaosheng Zhou

This paper is concerned with the tracking control problem for the closed single spin-1/2 quantum ensembles. Based on the Liouville-von Neumann equation, mathematical model of dynamics for single spin-1/2 quantum ensembles are formulated as a bilinear form with states evolving on Bloch sphere. An associated matrix Lie group equation describing transfers from the initial state being an identity matrix is naturally introduced. The tracking problem for the system in question is transformed to a stabilization problem such that the control techniques are able to be used. In order to deal with the tracking problem, the Lyapunov-based feedback design method is employed to obtain the control such that the dynamics of system can converge to the reference trajectory.

On Exponential Stabilization of Spin-1/2 Systems

Weichao Liang, Nina H. Amini, Paolo Mason

In this paper, we study the stabilization problem of quantum spin-1/2 systems under continuous-time measurements. In the case without feedback, we show exponential stabilization around the excited and ground state by providing a lower bound of the convergence rate. Based on stochastic Lyapunov techniques, we propose a parametrized measurement-based feedback which ensures exponential convergence toward the excited state. Moreover, we give a lower bound of the convergence rate for this case. Then, we discuss the effect of each parameter appeared in the control law in the convergence rate. Finally, we illustrate the efficiency of such feedback law through simulations.

Autonomous Feedback Stabilization of a Cavity-Coupled Spin Oscillator

Julian Wolf, Daniel H. Eilbott, Joshua Isaacs +3 more

We report out-of-equilibrium stabilization of the collective spin of an atomic ensemble through autonomous feedback by a driven optical cavity. For a magnetic field applied at an angle to the cavity axis, dispersive coupling to the cavity provides sensitivity to a combination of the longitudinal and transverse spin. Coherent backaction by cavity light onto the atoms, conditioned by the cavity susceptibility, stabilizes the spin state at an arbitrary energy. The setpoint tracking and closed-loop gain spectrum of the feedback system are characterized and found to agree closely with analytic predictions.
