Physics Letters A (2014)", "doi": "10.1016/j.physleta.2014.01.008", "categories": [ "quant-ph" ], "abstract": "We propose a Lyapunov control design to achieve specific (or a family of) unitary time-evolution operators, i.e., quantum gates in the Schr\\\"{o}dinger picture by tracking control. Two examples are presented. In the first, we illustrate how to realize the Hadamard gate in a single-qubit system, while in the second, the controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate is implemented in two-qubit systems with the Ising and Heisenberg interactions. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the control can drive the time-evolution operator into the local equivalence class of the CNOT gate and the operator keeps in this class forever with the existence of Ising coupling.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2014-01-14T14:31:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum gates", "realization", "local equivalence class", "lyapunov control design", "unitary time-evolution operators" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters A", "year": 2014, "month": "Feb", "volume": 378, "number": 9, "pages": 699 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhLA..378..699H" } } }
