Abstract

This paper investigates a quantum system described by the Schrödinger equation, utilizing the concept of the quantum Lyapunov function. The Lyapunov function is chosen based on the mean value of a virtual mechanical quantity, where different values of P, the mean value of the virtual mechanical quantity in the Lyapunov function, have an impact on the attractive domain of the quantum system. The selected primary optimization algorithms approximating matrix P are the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm and the simulated annealing (SA) algorithm. This study examines the characteristics of the system’s attraction domain under these two distinct algorithms and establishes stability conditions for the nonlinear quantum system. We introduce a method to estimate the size of the attractive domain using the Lyapunov function approach, converting the attractive domain issue into an optimization challenge. Numerical simulations are conducted in various two-dimensional test systems and spin 1/2 particle systems.

PSO-assisted Lyapunov control design for quantum systems

Xiaoke Guan, Sen Kuang, Daoyi Dong

By using a quadratic Lyapunov function with un-known parameters and a particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, this paper proposes a new Lyapunov control scheme for quantum systems. This approach can achieve high-probability population transfer to a given target state. For the case when the target state is an eigenstate of the internal Hamiltonian, we introduce a virtual control law into the system model and design corresponding control law. The stability of the system under the action of the Lyapunov control law is analyzed via the LaSalle invariance principle. For the case when the target state is a superposition state, we design a control law by performing a unitary transformation for the quantum system model under consideration. To achieve desired state transfer, we further introduce a PSO algorithm to search for the unknown parameters contained in the control law. Numerical results on a five-level quantum system and a three-qubit system are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

Quantum-behaved PSO-based Lyapunov control of closed quantum systems

Song Liu, Sen Kuang

A Lyapunov-based control scheme is presented to drive closed quantum systems into any target eigenstate with as high population as possible by the quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Based on a Lyapunov function with a Hermitian operator to be constructed, a control law with the unknown parameters contained in the Hermitian operator is designed. To achieve high-population state transfer to the target state, we first initialize those unknown parameters by choosing a path to the target state in its energy-level connectivity graph and setting their values along the path. Then, a set of optimal parameters is found by the quantum-behaved PSO algorithm. Finally, numerical simulation experiments are performed on a five-level quantum system and a four-qubit system to demonstrate the effectiveness of the control scheme in this paper.

Quantum control based on three forms of Lyapunov functions

Guohui Yu, Hong-Li 洪礼 Yang 杨

This paper introduces the quantum control of Lyapunov functions based on the state distance, the mean of imaginary quantities and state errors. In this paper, the specific control laws under the three forms are given. Stability is analyzed by the LaSalle invariance principle and the numerical simulation is carried out in a 2D test system. The calculation process for the Lyapunov function is based on a combination of the average of virtual mechanical quantities, the particle swarm algorithm and a simulated annealing algorithm. Finally, a unified form of the control laws under the three forms is given.

Quantum Control Design by Lyapunov Trajectory Tracking and Optimal Control

Hongli Yang, Guohui Yu, Ivan Ganchev Ivanov

In this paper, we investigate a Lyapunov trajectory tracking design method that incorporates a Schrödinger equation with a dipole subterm and polarizability. Our findings suggest that the proposed control law can overcome the limitations of certain existing control laws that do not converge. By integrating a quadratic performance index, we introduce an optimal control law, which we subsequently analyze for stability and optimality. We also simulate the spin-1/2 particle system to illustrate our results. These findings are further validated through numerical illustrations involving a 3D, 5D system, and a spin-1/2 particle system.

Optimization by a quantum reinforcement algorithm

Abolfazl Ramezanpour

A reinforcement algorithm solves a classical optimization problem by introducing a feedback to the system, which slowly changes the energy landscape and converges the algorithm to an optimal solution in the configuration space. Here, we use this strategy to concentrate (localize) the wave function of a quantum particle, which explores the configuration space of the problem, preferentially on an optimal configuration. We examine the method by solving numerically the equations governing the evolution of the system, which are similar to the nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations, for small problem sizes. In particular, we observe that reinforcement increases the minimal energy gap of the system in a quantum annealing algorithm. Our numerical simulations and the latter observation show that such kind of quantum feedback might be helpful in solving a computationally hard optimization problem by a quantum reinforcement algorithm.
