• Abstract: Frequency-modulation schemes have recently emerged as alternatives to standard Rabi pulses for realizing robust quantum operations. In this work, we investigate short-duration population transfer between the ground and first excited states of a ladder-type qutrit, with the goal of minimizing leakage into the second excited state. Our multiobjective approach seeks to reduce the maximum transient second-state population and maximize detuning robustness. Inspired by two-state models, such as the Allen-Eberly and Hioe-Carroll models, we extend these concepts to our system, exploring a range of pulse families, including those with super-Gaussian envelopes and polynomial detuning functions. We identify Pareto fronts for pulse models constructed from one of two envelope functions paired with one of four detuning functions. We then analyze how each Pareto-optimal pulse parameter influences the two Pareto objectives and amplitude robustness.

• Efficient control pulses for continuous quantum gate families through coordinated re-optimization [3.7845912794054337]
  We find that interpolating between optimized control pulses for different quantum operations does not immediately yield a high-fidelity intermediate operation. We pick several reference operations in the gate family of interest and optimize pulses that implement these operations, then iteratively re-optimize the pulses to guide their shapes to be similar for operations that are closely related. Our technique generalizes to any number of gate parameters and could easily be used with advanced pulse optimization algorithms to allow for better translation from simulation to experiment.

An optimal pulse is numerically designed while systematically varying the values of dephasing, population decay, pulse fluence, and control period. Although the decrease in purity due to the decoherence gives rise to the upper limit of the target expectation value, the optimally shaped pulse effectively deals with the decoherence.
