Reachable Sets from Toy Models to Controlled Markovian Quantum Systems

Abstract

In the framework of bilinear control systems, we present reachable sets of coherently controllable open quantum systems with switchable coupling to a thermal bath of arbitrary temperature $Tgeq0$. The core problem boils down to studying points in the standard simplex amenable to two types of controls that can be used interleaved: (i) permutations within the simplex, (ii) contractions by a dissipative one-parameter semigroup. Our work illustrates how the solutions of the core problem pertain to the reachable set of the original controlled Markovian quantum system. We completely characterize the case $T=0$ and present inclusions for $T>0$.
