Quantum computers hold the promise to solve certain problems exponentially faster than
their classical counterparts. Trapped atomic ions are among the physical systems in which …

Abstract The GRadient Ascent Pulse Engineering (GRAPE) method is widely used for
optimization in quantum control. GRAPE is gradient search method based on exact …

In this work, we consider an environment formed by incoherent photons as a resource for
controlling open quantum systems via an incoherent control. We exploit a coherent control in …

Preparing a quantum system in a pure state is ultimately limited by the nature of the system's
evolution in the presence of its environment and by the initial state of the environment itself …

We investigate under which conditions a mixed state on a finite-dimensional multipartite
quantum system may be the unique, globally stable fixed point of frustration-free semigroup …

We formalize the problem of dissipative quantum encoding, and explore the advantages of
using Markovian evolution to prepare a quantum code in the desired logical space, with …

We study sequences (both cyclic and randomized) of idempotent completely positive trace-
preserving quantum maps, and show how they asymptotically converge to the intersection of …

Leveraging an algebraic approach built on minimal realizations and conditional
expectations in quantum probability, we propose a method to reduce the dimension of …

In order to ensure reliable quantum information processing in realistic noisy devices, it is
necessary to resort to suitable error correction and avoidance strategies. A key aspect of …

Hamiltonian identification plays a key role in learning the dynamics of closed quantum
systems. A novel strategy for Hamiltonian identification is developed in the paper by …
