Common Foundations of Optimal Control Across the Sciences: evidence of a free lunch
Benjamin Russell, Herschel Rabitz
A common goal in the sciences is optimization of an objective function by selecting control variables such that a desired outcome is achieved. This scenario can be expressed in ter…
The Geometry of Speed Limiting Resources in Physical Models of Computation
Benjamin Russell, Susan Stepney
We study the maximum speed of quantum computation and how it is affected by limitations on physical resources. We show how the resulting concepts generalize to a broader class of p…
Quantum Control Landscapes Are Almost Always Trap Free
Benjamin Russell, Herschel Rabitz, Rebing Wu
A proof that almost all quantum systems have trap free (that is, free from local optima) landscapes is presented for a large and physically general class of quantum system. This re…
Quantum Control Landscapes Beyond the Dipole Approximation
Benjamin Russell, Herschel Rabitz, Rebing Wu
We investigate the control landscapes of closed, finite level quantum systems beyond the dipole approximation by including a polarizability term in the Hamiltonian. Theoretical ana…
