Control of the von Neumann Entropy for an Open Two-Qubit System Using Coherent and Incoherent Drives

Abstract

This article is devoted to developing an approach for manipulating the von Neumann entropy $S(\rho (t))$ of an open two-qubit system with coherent control and incoherent control inducing time-dependent decoherence rates. The following goals are considered: (a) minimizing or maximizing the final entropy $S(\rho (T))$; (b) steering $S(\rho (T))$ to a given target value; (c) steering $S(\rho (T))$ to a target value and satisfying the pointwise state constraint $S(\rho (t))\le \overline{S}$ for a given $\overline{S}$; (d) keeping $S(\rho (t))$ constant at a given time interval. Under the Markovian dynamics determined by a Gorini--Kossakowski--Sudarshan--Lindblad type master equation, which contains coherent and incoherent controls, one- and two-step gradient projection methods and genetic algorithm have been adapted, taking into account the specifics of the objective functionals. The corresponding numerical results are provided and discussed.
