Optimal Zeno Dragging for Quantum Control: A Shortcut to Zeno with Action-based Scheduling Optimization
arXiv:2311.01631 · doi:10.1103/PRXQuantum.5.020366
Abstract
The quantum Zeno effect asserts that quantum measurements inhibit simultaneous unitary dynamics when the "collapse" events are sufficiently strong and frequent. This applies in the limit of strong continuous measurement or dissipation. It is possible to implement a dissipative control that is known as "Zeno Dragging", by dynamically varying the monitored observable, and hence also the eigenstates which are attractors under Zeno dynamics. This is similar to adiabatic processes, in that the Zeno dragging fidelity is highest when the rate of eigenstate change is slow compared to the measurement rate. We demonstrate here two theoretical methods for using such dynamics to achieve control of quantum systems. The first, which we shall refer to as "shortcut to Zeno" (STZ), is analogous to the shortcuts to adiabaticity (counterdiabatic driving) that are frequently used to accelerate unitary adiabatic evolution. In the second approach we apply the Chantasri Dressel Jordan (2013, CDJ) stochastic action, and demonstrate that the extremal-probability readout paths derived from this are well suited to setting up a Pontryagin-style optimization of the Zeno dragging schedule. A fundamental contribution of the latter approach is to show that an action suitable for measurement-driven control optimization can be derived quite generally from statistical arguments. Implementing these methods on the Zeno dragging of a qubit, we find that both approaches yield the same solution, namely, that the optimal control is a unitary that matches the motion of the Zeno-monitored eigenstate. We then show that such a solution can be more robust than a unitary-only operation, and comment on solvable generalizations of our qubit example embedded in larger systems. These methods open up new pathways toward systematically developing dynamic control of Zeno subspaces to realize dissipatively-stabilized quantum operations.
