• Abstract summary: We provide analytical bounds on the differential sensitivity of the gate fidelity error to structured uncertainties for a closed quantum system controlled by piecewise-constant, optimal control fields. We then use these differential sensitivity bounds to provide conditions that guarantee performance, quantified by the fidelity error, in the face of parameter uncertainty.

• Abstract: Control of quantum systems via time-varying external fields optimized to maximize a fidelity measure at a given time is a mainstay in modern quantum control. However, save for specific systems, current analysis techniques for such quantum controllers provide no analytical robustness guarantees. In this letter we provide analytical bounds on the differential sensitivity of the gate fidelity error to structured uncertainties for a closed quantum system controlled by piecewise-constant, optimal control fields. We additionally determine those uncertainty structures that result in this worst-case maximal sensitivity. We then use these differential sensitivity bounds to provide conditions that guarantee performance, quantified by the fidelity error, in the face of parameter uncertainty.

  We investigate the underlying robust time-optimal control problem so as to make the best balance. Based on the Taylor expansion of the system's unitary propagator, we formulate the design problem as the optimal control of an augmented finite-dimensional system. Numerical simulations for single-qubit systems show that the obtained time-optimal control pulses can effectively suppress gate errors.
