• Abstract: We study the time-optimal robust control of a two-level quantum system subjected to field inhomogeneities. We apply the Pontryagin Maximum Principle and we introduce a reduced space onto which the optimal dynamics is projected down. This reduction leads to a complete analytical derivation of the optimal solution in terms of elliptic functions and elliptic integrals. Necessary optimality conditions are then obtained for the original system. These conditions are verified numerically and lead to the optimal control protocol. Various examples, ranging from state-to-state transfer to the generation of a Not gate, illustrate this study. The connection with other geometric optimization approaches that have been used to solve this problem is also discussed.

• 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.

  We show that an optimal solution consists of both controls tuned at their upper bound for the whole evolution time. We propose the use of a quantum optimal control technique adapted to limit the amplitude of the controls. We show that the scheme with two-control functions yields a higher fidelity than the other schemes for the same evolution time.

• Cross Entropy Hyperparameter Optimization for Constrained Problem Hamiltonians Applied to QAOA [68.11912614360878]
  Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms such as Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) are considered as one of the most encouraging approaches for taking advantage of near-term quantum computers in practical applications. Such algorithms are usually implemented in a variational form, combining a classical optimization method with a quantum machine to find good solutions to an optimization problem. In this study we apply a Cross-Entropy method to shape this landscape, which allows the classical parameter to find better parameters more easily and hence results in an improved performance.
