Carrie Weidner (Quantum Control 1: Optimisation and Application)

What this episode covers

In this month’s episode got to talk to Dr Carrie Weidner allabout controlling quantum systems! I find out what the control objective is forthese systems, how to characterise their robustness (or at least attempt to),how easy it is to apply this to practical systems, and a lot more besides.You can find the transcript at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aixaD-P6R6jFDjS4Zp6nJ2n5ZHPfbWKYCue2v2_ZCVU/edit?usp=sharing Follow the podcast on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coffee-and-control-podcast/Or connect with me directly: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-hodgins-733a30175/ReferencesPhD thesis: https://jila.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/2019-03/Weidner_PhD_final.pdfSabine Hauert episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/65iwMh2NstKqXvfATpzfm4Sabine episode transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12t_8k9LRckeGB--YVDS0XWnOeLX8sQcY3njA7jBCj1o/edit?usp=sharingCarrie’s quantum control survey: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00294 Sophie Shermer: https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/s.schirmer/Frank Langbein: https://langbein.org/Edmond Jonckheere: https://ee.usc.edu/~jonckhee/Sean O’Neil: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=250lKHEAAAAJ&hl=enPhila Rembold: https://qusco-itn.eu/portfolio_page/phila-rembold-2/Bases in quantum control: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.20889Nelder-Mead optmisation: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Nelder-Mead_algorithm#Advantages_and_disadvantageshttps://brandewinder.com/2022/03/31/breaking-down-Nelder-Mead/Ronnie Kosloff: https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/connect/explore-the-humboldt-network/singleview/1211067/prof-dr-ronnie-kosloffBelavkin-Carmichael quantum filter: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0510028Luenburg filter papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.06454 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6426181Non-Markovian systems papers: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/14/7/073023 https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.09637 Christiane Koch: https://atominnen.at/empower/interviews/382-christiane-kochOpen quantum systems paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-8984/28/21/213001Carrie’s mu analysis paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.12385 Randa Herzallah: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/people/staff/herzallah/Paper on quantum optimal control: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00207179.2024.2342939Quantum thermodynamics paper: https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.98.012139Irtaza Khalid: https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/khalidmiRobustness-infidelity metric paper: https://journals.aps.org/pra/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevA.107.032606Time-domain log-sensitivity paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.15783 Unifying log-sensitivity and RIM: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.09518  Robust quantum control papers:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.05372https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.13691 Energy landscape shaping paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/addc0dJacob Sherson: https://jacobsherson.com/David DiVincenzo: https://qutech.nl/person/david-divincenzo/ Enrico Fermi: https://www.dpma.de/english/our_office/publications/milestones/greatinventors/enricofermi/index.htmlPhysical review letters paper: https://link.aps.org/accepted/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.263201Point spread modification paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.05341
