A Way to Construct Quantum Speed Limits between Arbitrary Fixed States

Published Mar 7, 2022• 0 citations

Abstract

We shall first give an introduction to the subject of quantum speed limits and then present a more general quantum speed limit than what is currently known. Finally, we generalise the process and find that there are infinite speed limits that can be constructed via a similar process.

Understanding the speed with which a quantum system can evolve between distinguishable states has applications in quantum technology. A new theoretical study demonstrates a general family of quantum speed limits that can be applied to any physical process.

Generalised quantum speed limit for arbitrary time-continuous evolution

Abstract The quantum speed limit describes how quickly a quantum system can evolve in time from an initial state to a final state under a given dynamics. Here, we derive a generalised quantum speed limit (GQSL) for arbitrary time-continuous evolution using the geometrical approach of quantum mechanics. The GQSL is applicable for quantum systems undergoing unitary, non-unitary, completely positive, non-completely positive and relativistic quantum dynamics. This reduces to the well known standard quantum speed limit (QSL), i.e. the Mandelstam-Tamm bound when the quantum system undergoes unitary time evolution. Using our formalism, we then obtain a quantum speed limit for non-Hermitian quantum systems. To illustrate our findings, we have estimated the quantum speed limit for a time-independent non-Hermitian system as well as for a time-dependent non-Hermitian system namely the Bethe-Lamb Hamiltonian for general two-level system.

A Geometrical Derivation of a Family of Quantum Speed Limit Results

Benjamin Russell, Susan Stepney

We derive a family of quantum speed limit results in time independent systems with pure states and a finite dimensional state space, by using a geometric method based on right invariant action functionals on SU(N). The method relates speed limits for implementing quantum gates to bounds on orthogonality times. We reproduce the known result of the Margolus-Levitin theorem, and a known generalisation of the Margolis-Levitin theorem, as special cases of our method, which produces a rich family of other similar speed limit formulas corresponding to positive homogeneous functions on su(n). We discuss the general relationship between speed limits for controlling a quantum state and a system's time evolution operator.
