Abstract

Identifying the Hamiltonian of an unknown quantum system is a critical task in the area of quantum information. In this article, we propose a systematic Hamiltonian identification approach via quantum ensemble multiclass classification (HI-QEMC). This approach is implemented by a three-step iterative refining process, i.e., parameter interval guess, verification, and judgment. In the parameter interval guess step, the parameter interval is divided into several sub-intervals and the true Hamiltonian parameter is guessed in one of them. In the parameter interval verification step, cross verification is applied to verify the accuracy of the guess. In the parameter interval judgment step, an adaptive interval judgment (AIJ) algorithm is designed to determine the sub-interval containing the true Hamiltonian parameter. Numerical results on two typical quantum systems, i.e., two-level quantum systems and three-level quantum systems, demonstrate the effectiveness and superior performance of the proposed approach for quantum Hamiltonian identification.

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.

An Approximate Algorithm for Quantum Hamiltonian Identification with Complexity Analysis

Yuanlong Wang, Daoyi Dong, Ian R. Petersen +1 more

Identification of the Hamiltonian is vital for characterizing the dynamical evolution of a quantum system. The dimension of a multi-qubit system increases exponentially with the qubit number, which usually leads to daunting computational complexity for general Hamiltonian identification algorithms. In this paper, we design an efficient quantum Hamiltonian identification method based on periodical sampling. The computational complexity is O(M2 + MN2), where M is the number of unknown parameters to be identified in the Hamiltonian and N is the length of the sampling data. Numerical results with different data lengths demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed identification algorithm.

Quantum Ensemble Classification: A Sampling-Based Learning Control Approach

Chunlin Chen, Daoyi Dong, Bo Qi +2 more

Quantum ensemble classification (QEC) has significant applications in discrimination of atoms (or molecules), separation of isotopes, and quantum information extraction. However, quantum mechanics forbids deterministic discrimination among nonorthogonal states. The classification of inhomogeneous quantum ensembles is very challenging, since there exist variations in the parameters characterizing the members within different classes. In this paper, we recast QEC as a supervised quantum learning problem. A systematic classification methodology is presented by using a sampling-based learning control (SLC) approach for quantum discrimination. The classification task is accomplished via simultaneously steering members belonging to different classes to their corresponding target states (e.g., mutually orthogonal states). First, a new discrimination method is proposed for two similar quantum systems. Then, an SLC method is presented for QEC. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach for the binary classification of two-level quantum ensembles and the multiclass classification of multilevel quantum ensembles.

A Quantum Hamiltonian Identification Algorithm: Computational Complexity and Error Analysis

Yuanlong Wang, Daoyi Dong, Bo Qi +3 more

Quantum Hamiltonian identification (QHI) is important for characterizing the dynamics of quantum systems, calibrating quantum devices, and achieving precise quantum control. In this paper, an effective two-step optimization (TSO) QHI algorithm is developed within the framework of quantum process tomography. In the identification method, different probe states are input into quantum systems and the output states are estimated using the quantum state tomography protocol via linear regression estimation. The time-independent system Hamiltonian is reconstructed based on the experimental data for the output states. The Hamiltonian identification method has computational complexity O(d6), where d is the dimension of the system Hamiltonian. An error upper bound O( d3/√N ) is also established, where N is the resource number for the tomography of each output state, and several numerical examples demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed TSO Hamiltonian identification method.

Quantum Hamiltonian Identification from Measurement Time Traces

Jun Zhang, Mohan Sarovar

Precise identification of parameters governing quantum processes is a critical task for quantum information and communication technologies. In this Letter, we consider a setting where system evolution is determined by a parametrized Hamiltonian, and the task is to estimate these parameters from temporal records of a restricted set of system observables (time traces). Based on the notion of system realization from linear systems theory, we develop a constructive algorithm that provides estimates of the unknown parameters directly from these time traces. We illustrate the algorithm and its robustness to measurement noise by applying it to a one-dimensional spin chain model with variable couplings.
