Coarse-grained effective Hamiltonian via the Magnus Expansion for a three-level system
arXiv:2212.08508 · doi:10.3390/e25020234
Abstract
Quantum state processing is one of the main tools of quantum technologies. While real systems are complicated and/or may be driven by non-ideal control they may nevertheless exhibit simple dynamics approximately confined to a low-energy Hilbert subspace. Adiabatic elimination is the simplest approximation scheme allowing us to derive in certain cases an effective Hamiltonian operating in a low-dimensional Hilbert subspace. However, these approximations may present ambiguities and difficulties hindering a systematic improvement of their accuracy in larger and larger systems. Here we use the Magnus expansion as a systematic tool to derive ambiguity-free effective Hamiltonians. We show that the validity of the approximations ultimately leverages only on a properly done coarse-graining in time of the exact dynamics. We validate the accuracy of the obtained effective Hamiltonians with suitably tailored fidelities of quantum operations.
