• Abstract: Optical quantum memory--the ability to store photonic quantum states and retrieve them on demand--is an essential resource for emerging quantum technologies and photonic quantum information protocols. Simultaneously achieving high efficiency and high-speed, broadband operation is an important task necessary for enabling these applications. In this work, we investigate the optimization of a large class of optical quantum memory protocols based on resonant interaction with ensembles of $\Lambda$-type level systems with the restriction that the temporal envelope of all optical fields must be Gaussian, which reduces experimental complexity. We show that for overlapping signal and control fields there exists a unique and broadband pulse duration that optimizes the memory efficiency, and that this optimized efficiency can be close to the protocol-independent bound. We further optimize over the control field temporal delay and pulse duration, demonstrating saturation of this efficiency bound over a broad range of pulse durations while clarifying the underlying physics of the quantum memory interaction.

  We develop a framework for optimal control based on the quantum metric tensor. This framework allows for fast and high-fidelity adiabatic pulses, even for a dense energy spectrum. We show that for the geometric protocol, the transfer fidelites are lower bounded $F>99%$ for ultrafast 20 ns pulses.

• Memory-optimised Cubic Splines for High-fidelity Quantum Operations [0.0]
  Radio-frequency pulses are widespread for the control of quantum bits and the execution of operations in quantum computers. The ability to tune key pulse parameters such as time-dependent amplitude, phase, and frequency is essential to achieve maximal gate fidelity and errors. As systems scale, a larger fraction of the control electronic processing will move closer to the qubits. This will constrain the space available in the memory of the control electronics to load time-resolved pulse parameters at high sampling rates.

  We present a framework that combines the adjoint-state method together with reverse-time backpropagation to solve prohibitively large open-system quantum control problems. We apply this framework to optimize two inherently dissipative operations in superconducting qubits. Our results show that while standard pulses for dispersive readout are nearly optimal, adding a transmon drive during the protocol can yield 2x improvements in fidelity and duration.
