• Title: Optimizing thermalizations
• Authors: Kamil Korzekwa, Matteo Lostaglio
• Abstract summary: We present a rigorous approach, based on the concept of continuous thermomajorisation, to algorithmically characterise the full set of energy occupations of a quantum system. We illustrate this by finding optimal protocols in the context of cooling, work extraction and optimal sequences. The same tools also allow one to quantitatively assess the role played by memory effects in the performance of thermodynamic protocols.

• Abstract: We present a rigorous approach, based on the concept of continuous thermomajorisation, to algorithmically characterise the full set of energy occupations of a quantum system accessible from a given initial state through weak interactions with a heat bath. The algorithm can be deployed to solve complex optimization problems in out-of-equilibrium setups and it returns explicit elementary control sequences realizing optimal transformations. We illustrate this by finding optimal protocols in the context of cooling, work extraction and catalysis. The same tools also allow one to quantitatively assess the role played by memory effects in the performance of thermodynamic protocols. We obtained exhaustive solutions on a laptop machine for systems with dimension $d\leq 7$, but with heuristic methods one could access much higher $d$.

• Analyzing and Enhancing the Backward-Pass Convergence of Unrolled Optimization [50.38518771642365]
  The integration of constrained optimization models as components in deep networks has led to promising advances on many specialized learning tasks. A central challenge in this setting is backpropagation through the solution of an optimization problem, which often lacks a closed form. This paper provides theoretical insights into the backward pass of unrolled optimization, showing that it is equivalent to the solution of a linear system by a particular iterative method. A system called Folded Optimization is proposed to construct more efficient backpropagation rules from unrolled solver implementations.

We adopt GRAPE method for optimizing objective functionals for open quantum systems driven by both coherent and incoherent controls.

  We propose a novel neural algorithm for the fundamental problem of computing the entropic optimal transport (EOT) plan between continuous probability distributions. Our algorithm is based on the saddle point reformulation of the dynamic version of EOT which is known as the Schr"odinger Bridge problem. In contrast to the prior methods for large-scale EOT, our algorithm is end-to-end and consists of a single learning step.

• Continuous thermomajorization and a complete set of laws for Markovian thermal processes [0.0]
  We develop a new framework overcoming the limitations that the current dynamical and information theory approaches encounter when applied to this setting. We introduce the notion of continuous thermomajorization, and employ it to obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a Markovian thermal process transforming between given initial and final energy distributions of the system. We also present an algorithm constructing the full set of energy distributions achievable from a given initial state via Markovian thermal processes and provide a $textttMathematica$ implementation solving $d=6$ on a laptop computer in minutes.

• Optimal control of quantum thermal machines using machine learning [0.0]
  We show that differentiable programming (DP) can be employed to optimize finite-time thermodynamical processes in a quantum thermal machine. We formulate the STA driving protocol as a constrained optimization task and apply DP to find optimal driving profiles for an appropriate figure of merit. Our method and results demonstrate that ML is beneficial both for solving hard-constrained quantum control problems and for devising and assessing their theoretical groundwork.
