Closed loop observer-based parameter estimation of quantum systems with a single population measurement

Zaki Leghtas

Published Nov 21, 2008• 0 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

An observer-based Hamiltonian identification algorithm for quantum systems has been proposed by Bonnabel-et-al [2]. In this paper we propose another observer enabling the identification of the dipole moments of a multi-level case, and having access to the population of the ground state only.

Parameter estimation of a 3-level quantum system with a single population measurement

Zaki Leghtas, Mazyar Mirrahimi, Pierre Rouchon

An observer-based Hamiltonian identification algorithm for quantum systems has been recently proposed by two of the authors to estimate the dipole moment matrix of a quantum system requiring the measurement of the populations on all states. This could be experimentally difficult to achieve. We propose here an extension to a 3-level quantum system, having access to the population of the ground state only. By a suitable choice of the control field, we show that a continuous measurement of this population, alone, is enough to identify the field coupling parameters (dipole moment). Simulations with 20% of noise on the measured population illustrate the robustness of the proposed estimation algorithm and confirm the convergence analysis.

Qubit Hamiltonian identification: A symmetry-preserving observer-based approach

Silvère Bonnabel, Mazyar Mirrahimi, Pierre Rouchon

Abstract: We consider a pure two-state quantum system illuminated by two lasers. A photo-detector captures the fluorescence of the system. We build an invariant observer which yields a (local) estimation of the wave function (or density matrix) and the two key parameters (laser de-tuning and the atomlaser coupling strength) of the hamiltonian. The design exploits the symmetries of the system and can be interpreted geometrically. The convergence proof is based on averaging arguments. Simulation with noise illustrates the robustness of the obtained estimation algorithm.

Experimental Hamiltonian identification for controlled two-level systems

S. G. Schirmer, Avinash Kolli, Daniel K. L. Oi

We present a strategy to empirically determine the internal and control Hamiltonians for an unknown two-level system (black box) subject to various (piecewise constant) control fields when direct readout by measurement is limited to a single, fixed observable.

Identification of open quantum systems from observable time traces

Jun Zhang, Mohan Sarovar

Estimating the parameters that dictate the dynamics of a quantum system is an important task for quantum information processing and quantum metrology, as well as fundamental physics. In this paper we develop a method for parameter estimation for Markovian open quantum systems using a temporal record of measurements on the system. The method is based on system realization theory and is a generalization of our previous work on identification of Hamiltonian parameters [Phys. Rev. Lett. 113, 080401 (2014)].

Direct estimation of single- and two-qubit Hamiltonians and relaxation rates

Masoud Mohseni, A. T. Rezakhani, Alán Aspuru‐Guzik

We provide an approach for characterization of quantum Hamiltonian systems via utilizing a single measurement device. Specifically, we demonstrate how external quantum correlations can be used for Hamiltonian identification tasks. We explicitly introduce experimental procedures for direct estimation of single- and two-qubit Hamiltonian parameters, and also for simultaneous estimation of transverse and longitudinal relaxation rates, using a single Bell-state analyzer. An advantage of our method over the earlier approaches is that it has a built-in feature which makes it suitable for partial characterization of Hamiltonian parameters.

An iterative algorithm for Hamiltonian identification of quantum systems

Yuanlong Wang, Bo Qi, Daoyi Dong +1 more

Identifying parameters in the system Hamiltonian is a vitally important task in the development of quantum technology. This paper investigates the problem of Hamiltonian identification for closed quantum systems and develops a new algorithm to achieve the task of identifying the Hamiltonian. Under the framework of standard quantum process tomography and without prior assumptions, we first convert the problem of Hamiltonian identification into an optimization problem and then design an iterative algorithm to numerically solve this problem. Numerical results for a two-qubit system are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm through analyzing the mean squared error.
