Flatness-Based Control of a Single Qubit Gate

Authors: Paulo Sergio Pereira da Silva and Pierre Rouchon
IEEE Trans Automatic Control, Vol. 53 (3), pp:775-779, 2008. DOI: 10.1109/TAC.2008.917650
This work considers the open-loop control problem of steering a two-level quantum system from any initial to any final condition. The model of this system evolves on the state space X = SU(2), having two inputs that correspond to the complex amplitude of a resonant laser field. A symmetry preserving flat output is constructed using a fully geometric construction and quaternion computations. Simulation results of this flatness-based open-loop control are provided.
