Role of control constraints in quantum optimal control
arXiv:1507.08785 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.92.052109
Abstract
The problems of optimizing the value of an arbitrary observable of the two-level system at both a fixed time and the shortest possible time is theoretically explored. Complete identification and classification along with comprehensive analysis of globally optimal control policies and traps (i.e. policies which are locally but not globally optimal) is presented. The central question addressed is whether the control landscape remains trap-free if control constraints of the inequality type are imposed. The answer is astonishingly controversial, namely, although formally it is always negative, in practice it is positive provided that the control time is fixed and chosen long enough.
