Exploring quantum control landscapes: Topology, features, and optimization scaling

Journal Article Moore, Katharine W ; Rabitz, Herschel - Physical Review. A

Quantum optimal control experiments and simulations have successfully manipulated the dynamics of systems ranging from atoms to biomolecules. Surprisingly, these collective works indicate that the effort (i.e., the number of algorithmic iterations) required to find an optimal control field appears to be essentially invariant to the complexity of the system. The present work explores this matter in a series of systematic optimizations of the state-to-state transition probability on model quantum systems with the number of states N ranging from 5 through 100. The optimizations occur over a landscape defined by the transition probability as a function of the control field.more »« less

Topology of optimally controlled quantum mechanical transition probability landscapes

Journal Article Rabitz, H ; Ho, T -S ; Hsieh, M ; ... - Physical Review. A

An optimally controlled quantum system possesses a search landscape defined by the physical objective as a functional of the control field. This paper particularly explores the topological structure of quantum mechanical transition probability landscapes. The quantum system is assumed to be controllable and the analysis is based on the Euler-Lagrange variational equations derived from a cost function only requiring extremizing the transition probability. It is shown that the latter variational equations are automatically satisfied as a mathematical identity for control fields that either produce transition probabilities of zero or unit value. Similarly, the variational equations are shown to be inconsistentmore »« less

Topology of classical molecular optimal control landscapes for multi-target objectives

Journal Article Joe-Wong, Carlee ; Ho, Tak-San ; Rabitz, Herschel ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

This paper considers laser-driven optimal control of an ensemble of non-interacting molecules whose dynamics lie in classical phase space. The molecules evolve independently under control to distinct final states. We consider a control landscape defined in terms of multi-target (MT) molecular states and analyze the landscape as a functional of the control field. The topology of the MT control landscape is assessed through its gradient and Hessian with respect to the control. Under particular assumptions, the MT control landscape is found to be free of traps that could hinder reaching the objective. The Hessian associated with an optimal control fieldmore »« less

Dynamic homotopy and landscape dynamical set topology in quantum control

Journal Article Dominy, Jason ; Rabitz, Herschel ; Department of Chemistry, Princeton University, Princeton, New Jersey 08544 - Journal of Mathematical Physics

We examine the topology of the subset of controls taking a given initial state to a given final state in quantum control, where 'state' may mean a pure state Double-Vertical-Line {psi}>, an ensemble density matrix {rho}, or a unitary propagator U(0, T). The analysis consists in showing that the endpoint map acting on control space is a Hurewicz fibration for a large class of affine control systems with vector controls. Exploiting the resulting fibration sequence and the long exact sequence of basepoint-preserving homotopy classes of maps, we show that the indicated subset of controls is homotopy equivalent to the loopspacemore »« less

Exploring the level sets of quantum control landscapes

Journal Article Rothman, Adam ; Ho, Tak-San ; Rabitz, Herschel - Physical Review. A

A quantum control landscape is defined by the value of a physical observable as a functional of the time-dependent control field E(t) for a given quantum-mechanical system. Level sets through this landscape are prescribed by a particular value of the target observable at the final dynamical time T, regardless of the intervening dynamics. We present a technique for exploring a landscape level set, where a scalar variable s is introduced to characterize trajectories along these level sets. The control fields E(s,t) accomplishing this exploration (i.e., that produce the same value of the target observable for a given system) are determinedmore »« less
