Universal quantum control over bosonic network

Quantum Physics 2026-01-21 v2

Abstract

Perfect transfer of {\em unknown} states across distinct nodes is a basic function in bosonic quantum networks. Here we develop a general theory to construct an NN-node bosonic network governed by the time-dependent Hamiltonian, as the universal quantum control theory for continuous-variable systems. In particular, we can activate nonadiabatic passages superposed of initial and target modes by the commutation condition about the Hamiltonian's coefficient matrix and projection operator in the representation of time-independent ancillary modes, which serves as the necessary and sufficient condition to solve the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation of the full Hamiltonian. To exemplify the versatility of our theory on the Heisenberg-picture passages, we perform arbitrary state exchange between two nodes, chiral entanglement transfer among three bosonic nodes, and chiral Fock-state transfer among three of four bosonic nodes. Our work provides a promising avenue toward the universal control of any pair of nodes or modes as well as the entire bosonic network.
