Abstract

In this paper we propose a framework to handle controlled quantum dynamics, which is represented as a matrix form. The objective of this paper is to derive a corresponding vector form to which many results of the standard control theory can be applied. To this end, we introduce some tools to transform the dynamics. These tools do not only play a fundamental role in the transformation, but also are considered to provide effective calculations for future work including system analysis.

Local State Transition of Feedback Controlled Quantum Systems with Imperfect Detector Efficiency: Part I: Differential Geometric Analysis for Dynamical Systems with Matrix-Valued States

Tomotake Sasaki, Shinji Hara, Koji Tsumura

We consider a new class of dynamical systems whose state is represented by a Hermitian matrix motivated by treating quantum control problems. We develop theory and techniques of differential geometric analysis for dynamical systems in that class, where a Lie product of matrix functions is introduced and plays an important role. We provide a simple and coordinate-free calculation method for the Lie product of matrix functions which enables efficient differential geometric analysis. The result of this paper will be used in a follow-up paper on analysis of local state transition of controlled quantum systems under continuous quantum measurement with imperfect detector efficiency.

Dynamic Quantum Control of Nonlinear Quantum Systems Modeling

Jincheng Zhang

This paper presents a novel approach to modeling dynamic quantum control scenarios involving nonlinear quantum systems. The core claim is the establishment of a model capable of accurately describing the behavior of such systems under dynamic control. This model is built upon the introduction of a nonlinear Schrödinger equation, coupled with principles from dynamic control theory. The methodology allows for detailed analysis and manipulation of nonlinear quantum systems, expanding the theoretical foundation for quantum control and manipulation research. We explore the challenges and potential solutions in designing control strategies for systems exhibiting complex, nonlinear interactions. The presented framework offers a foundation for further research into advanced quantum control techniques. The key mathematical components are detailed within the subsequent sections, including the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, control vector formulation, and analysis of system dynamics. The focus is on providing a rigorous mathematical framework rather than a specific experimental implementation.

Coherent control based on quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects: Role of coherences and timing

Levitt, Jacob, Artur F. Izmaylov

The quantum-Zeno and anti-Zeno effects (QZE/AZE) are known for a long time, in a quantum system with coupled levels, the measurement of a particular level population can lead to either acceleration (i.e. AZE) or retardation (i.e. QZE) of its population transfer to other levels. Here we consider how one can control the population flow from a coupled quantum state by measurement at a particular time, and what system parameters are responsible for that. We propose a framework for analysis of quantum Zeno dynamics based on time-dependent density matrix perturbation theory. This framework allows us to clearly separate state populations from their coherences and to predict appearance of either QZE or AZE. We illustrate our analysis on two model systems: 1) two coupled levels and 2) a level coupled to a continuum. In both cases dynamics of quantum coherences play a crucial role, and perturbative considerations allow us to predict the effect of projective measurements. In addition, we have extended our consideration to a closely related coherent control scenario, a unitary transformation flipping a sign of a state in a coherent superposition describing the system wavefunction.

Quantum State Dynamics: A Dynamic Matrix Approach for Complex Quantum System Simulation and Prediction

Jincheng Zhang

Quantum state dynamics, the evolution of quantum states over time, is a crucial element in many quantum algorithms and simulations. Traditional matrix-based approaches often struggle to efficiently capture the intricate dynamics inherent in these systems. This paper introduces a novel dynamic matrix computation framework for quantum state simulation and prediction, designed to leverage the inherent properties of quantum states to significantly enhance computational efficiency. We propose a method for representing and manipulating quantum states using dynamic matrices, allowing for a more accurate and scalable modeling of complex quantum systems. The core mechanism centers around dynamically updating the matrix representation of the system, adapting to the specific evolution path of the quantum state. We demonstrate the effectiveness of this framework through simulations of a specific, albeit simplified, quantum system, showcasing improvements in computational speed and accuracy compared to traditional methods. The paper concludes with a discussion of the potential implications of this approach for various quantum computing applications.

Control and filtering of quantum systems

Shizhou Fu

This thesis is concerned with the control and filtering problems for quantum systems. Two kinds of control problems are considered for a class of quantum systems: optimal control and trajectory tracking control. Filtering of a class of linear quantum systems is also investigated. \n \nFor the optimal control of quantum systems, the system in question evolves on a manifold inR^3 and is modeled as a bilinear control form whose states are represented as coherence vectors. An associated matrix Lie group system with state space S O(3) is introduced in order to facilitate solving the given problem. The controllability as well as the reachable set of the system is analyzed in detail. The maximum principle is applied to the optimal control for systems evolving on the Lie group of special orthogonal matrices of dimension 3, with cost that is quadratic in the control input. Controlling the evolutions of coherence vector is equivalent to controlling the states of an associated matrix Lie group system. Thus, the optimal control problem for single spin-1/2 systems can be transformed to steer state of the matrix Lie group system from the identity matrix to a final matrix corresponding to a target state of single spin-1/2 systems in an optimal fashion. The obtained result is employed to perform a reversible logic quantum operation NOT on single spin-1/2 systems. Explicit expressions for the optimal control are given which are linked to the initial state of the system. The main contribution of the result is to extend the existing result to a larger class of systems, generalizing existing wave-function-based results to single spin-1/2 systems whose states are represented by density matrices such that it allows the inclusion of mixed states. \n \nFor the tracking control problem of 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. For a typical setting in NMR, one in general would not cancel the applied electromagnetic field along a specified direction, thus leading to the dynamics in a plane perpendicular to that direction on the Bloch sphere. One natural question arises that how can one design a feedback controller such that given an initial condition for quantum ensembles, the system evolutions can be steered to the pre-determined trajectory. An associated matrix Lie group differential equation describing transfers from the initial state being an identity matrix is naturally introduced. The tracking problem for the system of interest is transformed to a stabilization problem such that the control techniques are able to be used. A distance function as well as a distance vector defined on the Lie group SO(3) are introduced, which can be used to construct a Lyapunov function to deal with the tracking problem. In order to deal with the tracking problem, the Lyapunov-based feedback design method is employed to obtain the feedback control such that the dynamics of system can converge to the reference trajectory. \n \nFor filtering of quantum systems, the filter problem of a class of linear quantum stochastic systems with quantum noise is investigated. The quantum system model is first analyzed, then the necessary conditions of nondemolition are obtained by applying the observation principle. The relations between the input and output noise are necessary for the nondemolition measurement of the quantum output channels. Given prescribed quantum system, the filter of the system is derived using those necessary conditions.
