Comparison of time optimal control for two level quantum systems

摘要

The time optimal problem for a two level quantum system is studied. We compare two different control strategies of bang-bang control and the geometric control, respectively, especially in the case of minimizing the time of steering the state from North Pole to South Pole on the Bloch sphere with bounded control. The time performances are compared for different parameters by the individual numerical simulation experiments, and the experimental results are analyzed. The results show that the geometric control spends less time than the bang-bang control does.
