Optimal coherent control to counteract dissipation

Quantum Physics 2013-08-05 v2

Abstract

We study to what extent the detrimental impact of dissipation on quantum properties can be compensated by suitable coherent dynamics. To this end, we develop a general method to determine the control Hamiltonian that optimally counteracts a given dissipation mechanism, in order to sustain the desired property, and apply it to two exemplary target properties: the coherence of a decaying two-level system, and the entanglement of two qubits in the presence of local dissipation.
