Time-optimal purification of a qubit in contact with a structured environment

Abstract

We investigate the time-optimal control of the purification of a qubit interacting with a structured environment, consisting of a strongly coupled two-level defect in interaction with a thermal bath. On the basis of a geometric analysis, we show for weak and strong interaction strengths that the optimal control strategy corresponds to a qubit in resonance with the reservoir mode. We investigate when qubit coherence and correlation between the qubit and the environment speed-up the control process.
