The well-known Schmidt decomposition, or equivalently, the complex singular value decomposition, states that a pure quantum state of a bipartite system can always be brought into a "diagonal" form using local unitary transformations. In…

Coherent quantum control over many-particle quantum systems requires high fidelity dynamics. One way of achieving this is to use adiabatic schemes where the system follows an instantaneous eigenstate of the Hamiltonian over timescales that…

In the dynamics of open quantum systems, the interaction with the external environment usually leads to a contraction of the set of reachable states for the system as time increases, eventually shrinking to a single stationary point. In…

A pure indirect control of quantum systems via quantum accessor is investigated. In this control scheme, we do not apply any external classical excitation fields on the controlled system and we control a quantum system via a quantum…

Any quantum system with a non-trivial Hamiltonian is able to simulate any other Hamiltonian evolution provided that a sufficiently large group of unitary control operations is available. We show that there exist finite groups with this…

We present an open-loop unitary strategy to control the coherence in a pure dephasing model (related to the phase-flip channel) that is able to recover, for whatever prescribed time span, the initial coherence at the end of the control…

We develop a general optimization strategy for performing a chosen unitary or non-unitary task on an open quantum system. The goal is to design a controlled time-dependent system Hamiltonian by variationally minimizing or maximizing a…

When can a quantum system of finite dimension be used to simulate another quantum system of finite dimension? What restricts the capacity of one system to simulate another? In this paper we complete the program of studying what simulations…

The long-time dynamics of quantum systems, typically, but not always, results in a thermal steady state. The microscopic processes that lead to or circumvent this fate are of interest, since everyday experience tells us that not all spatial…

We present an analysis of transfer of quantum information between the collective spin degrees of freedom of a large ensemble of two-level systems and a single central qubit. The coupling between the central qubit and the individual ensemble…

We investigate several control strategies for the transport of an excitation along a spin chain. We demonstrate that fast, high fidelity transport can be achieved using protocols designed with differentiable programming. Building on this,…

We study the kick dynamics of periodically driven quantum systems, and provide a timeindependent effective Hamiltonian with the analytical form to reasonably describe the effective dynamics in a long timescale. It is shown that the…

We provide a sufficient condition for the controllability of a bilinear closed quantum system steered by a static field and a time-varying field, based on the notion of weakly conically connected spectrum. More precisely, we show that if a…

The ability to characterise a Hamiltonian with high precision is crucial for the implementation of quantum technologies. In addition to the well-developed approaches utilising optimal probe states and optimal measurements, the method of…
