High Fidelity Quantum State Transfer by Pontryagin Maximum Principle

Quantum Physics 2022-03-11 v2

Abstract

High fidelity quantum state transfer is an essential part of quantum information processing. In this regard, we address the problem of maximizing the fidelity in a quantum state transformation process satisfying the Liouville-von Neumann equation. By introducing fidelity as the performance index, we aim at maximizing the similarity of the final state density operator with the one of the desired target state. Optimality conditions in the form of a Maximum Principle of Pontryagin are given for the matrix-valued dynamic control systems propagating the probability density function. These provide a complete set of relations enabling the computation of the optimal control strategy.
