Time Optimal Control of Coupled Qubits Under Non-Stationary Interactions
Abstract
In this article, we give a complete characterization of all the unitary transformations that can be synthesized in a given time for a system of coupled spin-1/2 in presence of general time varying coupling tensor. Our treatment is quite general and our results help to characterize the reachable set at all times for a class of bilinear control systems with time varying drift and unbounded control amplitude. These results are of fundamental interest in geometric control theory and have applications to control of coupled spins in solid state NMR spectroscopy.
