• Abstract: We present an iterative optimal control method of quantum systems, aimed at an implementation of a desired operation with optimal fidelity. The update step of the method is based on the linear response of the fidelity to the control operators, and its projection onto the mode functions of the corresponding operator. Our method extends methods such as gradient ascent pulse engineering and variational quantum algorithms, by determining the fidelity gradient in a hyperparameter-free manner, and using it for a multi-parameter update, capitalizing on the multi-mode overlap of the perturbation and the mode functions. This directly reduces the number of dynamical trajectories that need to be evaluated in order to update a set of parameters. We demonstrate this approach, and compare it to the standard GRAPE algorithm, for the example of a quantum gate on two qubits, demonstrating a clear improvement in convergence and optimal fidelity of the generated protocol.

• A Projection Operator-based Newton Method for the Trajectory Optimization of Closed Quantum Systems [0.0]
  This paper develops a new general purpose solver for quantum optimal control based on the PRojection Operator Newton method for Trajectory Optimization, or PRONTO. Specifically, the proposed approach uses a projection operator to incorporate the Schr"odinger equation directly into the cost function, which is then minimized using a quasi-Newton method. The resulting method guarantees monotonic convergence at every iteration and quadratic convergence in proximity of the solution.
