Adaptive Quantum Control through Hardware-Software Co-optimization
Jincheng Zhang
Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach to quantum control, termed hardware-software co-optimization, aiming to enhance the efficiency of quantum computation. The core idea revolves around developing a dynamic optimization framework that adapts control pulses based on real-time feedback from the quantum hardware. This framework integrates quantum control algorithms with the specific characteristics of the quantum device, such as coherence time and gate fidelity. The optimization process is achieved through a collaborative system where the optimizer adjusts the control pulses, and the quantum computing software executes the computations. We demonstrate the potential of this approach to improve the overall performance of quantum algorithms by mitigating the impact of hardware imperfections. The proposed methodology offers a pathway to more robust and efficient quantum control, bridging the gap between theoretical algorithms and practical hardware implementation. Key mathematical elements explored include pulse shaping, error mitigation strategies, and adaptive control algorithms.
