Variational approach to the optimal control of coherently driven, open quantum system dynamics
Vasco Cavina, Andrea Mari, Alberto Carlini +1
Quantum coherence inherently affects the dynamics and the performances of a quantum machine. Coherent control can, at least in principle, enhance the work extraction and boost the…
Optimal thermodynamic control in open quantum systems
Vasco Cavina, Andrea Mari, Alberto Carlini +1
We apply advanced methods of control theory to open quantum systems and we determine finite-time processes which are optimal with respect to thermodynamic performances. General pro…
Locally optimal symplectic control of multimode Gaussian states
Uther Shackerley-Bennett, Alberto Carlini, Vittorio Giovannetti +1
The relaxation of a system to a steady state is a central point of interest in many attempts to advance control over the quantum world. In this paper, we consider control through i…
On the time optimal thermalization of single mode Gaussian states
Alberto Carlini, Andrea Mari, Vittorio Giovannetti
We consider the problem of time optimal control of a continuous bosonic quantum system subject to the action of a Markovian dissipation. In particular, we consider the case of a on…
Speeding up and slowing down the relaxation of a qubit by optimal control
Victor Mukherjee, Alberto Carlini, Andrea Mari +5
We consider a two-level quantum system prepared in an arbitrary initial state and relaxing to a steady state due to the action of a Markovian dissipative channel. We study how opti…
Time-optimal Unitary Operations in Ising Chains II: Unequal Couplings and Fixed Fidelity
A. Carlini, T. Koike
We analytically determine the minimal time and the optimal control laws required for the realization, up to an assigned fidelity and with a fixed energy available, of entangling qu…
