Lyapunov-based prescribed-time stabilisation control of quantum systems

Abstract

This paper addresses the prescribed-time stabilisation control problem for quantum systems characterised by a single control input. A control law based on the relative state distance is formulated. Through the application of prescribed-time Lyapunov control techniques, the stabilisation of the quantum system to one of the eigenstates of the internal Hamiltonian within a prescribed-time is established. Notably, in contrast to existing quantum system control methods, our proposed approach ensures stabilisation within a specified time, allowing for the flexible selection of the settling-time upper bound according to preference, independent of the initial conditions. © 2024 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
