A closed quantum system is defined as completely controllable if an arbitrary unitary transformation can be executed using the available controls. In practice, control fields are a source of unavoidable noise. Can one design control fields such that the effect of noise is negligible on the timescale of the transformation? Complete controllability in practice requires that the effect of noise can be suppressed for an arbitrary transformation. The present study considers a paradigm of control, where the Lie-algebraic structure of the control Hamiltonian is fixed, while the size of the system increases, determined by the dimension of the Hilbert space representation of the algebra. We show that for large quantum systems, generic noise in the controls dominates for a typical class of target transformation; i.e., complete controllability is destroyed by the noise.

Coherent control of ultrafast bond making and subsequent molecular dynamics: demonstration of final-state branching ratio control

Liat Levin, Daniel M. Reich, Moran Geva, Ronnie Kosloff, Christiane P. Koch, Zohar Amitay

Summary: By utilizing quantum coherent control, it is possible to manipulate the relative yields of Mg-2 molecules generated through photoassociation and drive them into different final states. This can be achieved by controlling the branching ratio with linearly chirped laser pulses, demonstrating the feasibility of high degree coherent control over quantum molecular dynamics initiated by femtosecond photoassociation of thermal atoms.

Experimental verification of the inertial theorem control protocols

Summary: The experiment with trapped ytterbium ions validates the inertial theorem for the SU(2) algebra, providing analytical solutions for non-adiabatically driven systems and bridging the gap between sudden and adiabatic limits. The results demonstrate the stability of these solutions to small deviations, paving the way for rapid quantum control of closed and open quantum systems. The inertial theorem shows good robustness in phase estimation, even in the presence of large deviations from the inertial condition.

Quantum thermo-dynamical construction for driven open quantum systems

Roie Dann, Ronnie Kosloff

Summary: The research integrates the quantum dynamics of driven open systems with thermodynamic principles through an axiomatic approach, resulting in a thermodynamically consistent master equation. In the appropriate physical limit, the control is incorporated into the system Hamiltonian as a time-dependent term, leading to a semi-classical description. The theory is demonstrated by analyzing a qubit controlled by a single bosonic mode in a coherent state, highlighting the crucial role of coherence in the initial control state.

Unification of the first law of quantum thermodynamics

Roie Dann, Ronnie Kosloff

Summary: The principles of classical thermodynamics are based on similar microscopic laws derived from the fundamental axioms of quantum mechanics. These laws define quantum thermodynamic variables and characterize the transformations of open quantum systems. The conservation of energy is the most important quantum thermodynamic law, but there is ambiguity and disagreement regarding the partition of energy change into work and heat for quantum systems. By treating quantum mechanics as a comprehensive theory and using dynamical symmetries, we bridge the gaps between different approaches to the first law of thermodynamics.

Non-Markovian dynamics under time-translation symmetry

Roie Dann, Nina Megier, Ronnie Kosloff

Summary: This article introduces the use of dynamical symmetry to determine the structure of the quantum non-Markovian time-local master equation. The structure consists of scalar kinetic coefficients and the standard quantum Markovian operator form. The method is illustrated with specific examples and a first principle calculation of the kinetic coefficients is proposed.

Open system dynamics from thermodynamic compatibility

Roie Dann, Ronnie Kosloff

Summary: The text discusses the relationship between thermodynamics and quantum Markovian dynamics, proving the general form of the master equation through mathematical conditions and spectral analysis. It extends thermodynamical considerations to dynamical processes and compares results with master equations from microscopic derivations. The findings suggest that coherence is not generated spontaneously under steady-state transport, and the global master equation is the thermodynamically compatible choice for nondriven systems in a bipartite system-environment setup.

Inertial Theorem: Overcoming the quantum adiabatic limit

Roie Dann, Ronnie Kosloff

Summary: The theorem presented describes stable solutions for a driven quantum system, applicable for fast driving with a small acceleration rate. It states that in the inertial limit, eigenoperators of the propagator remain invariant throughout the dynamics, accumulating dynamical and geometric phases. Applications of the theorem are demonstrated by studying explicit solutions of various system models, showing that the inertial solution is superior to the adiabatic approximation. Additionally, the inertial theorem is employed to extend the validity of the Markovian master equation to strongly driven open quantum systems, exploring the consequences of geometric phases associated with driving parameters.
