Generation of C-NOT, SWAP, and C-Z Gates for Two Qubits Using Coherent and Incoherent Controls and Stochastic Optimization

Abstract

In this work, we consider a general form of the dynamics of open quantum systems determined by the Gorini-Kossakowsky-Sudarchhan-Lindblad type master equation with simultaneous coherent and incoherent controls with three particular forms of the two-qubit Hamiltonians. Coherent control enters in the Hamiltonian and incoherent control enters in both the Hamiltonian and the superoperator of dissipation. For these systems, we analyze the control problems of generating two-qubit C-NOT, SWAP, and C-Z gates using with piecewise constant controls and stochastic optimization in the form of an adapted version of the dual annealing algorithm. In the numerical experiment, we analyze the minimal infidelity obtained by the dual annealing for various values of strength of the interaction between the system and the environment.
