Robust Quantum Control against Clock Noises in Multi-Qubit Systems

Abstract

High-precision manipulation of multi-qubit quantum systems requires strictly clocked and synchronized multi-channel control signals. However, practical Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs) always suffer from random signal jitters and channel latencies that induces non-ignorable state or gate operation errors. In this paper, we analyze the average gate error caused by clock noises, from which an estimation formula is derived for quantifying the control robustness against clock noises. This measure is then employed for finding robust controls via a homotopic optimization algorithm. We also introduce our recently proposed stochastic optimization algorithm, b-GRAPE, for training robust controls via randomly generated clock noise samples. Numerical simulations on a two-qubit example demonstrate that both algorithms can greatly improve the control robustness against clock noises. The homotopic algorithm converges much faster than the b-GRAPE algorithm, but the latter can achieve more robust controls against clock noises.
