Abstract:
Quantum optimal control (QOC) enables the realization of accurate operations, such as quantum gates, and supports the development of quantum technologies. To date, many QOC frameworks have been developed, but those remain only naturally suited to optimize a single targeted operation at a time. We extend this concept to optimal control with a continuous family of targets, and demonstrate that an optimization based on neural networks can find families of time-dependent Hamiltonians realizing desired classes of quantum gates in minimal time.

The expression of more than 30,000 genes is controlled by approximately 2000-3000 transcription factors. This is possible because a single transcription factor can recognize more than one regulatory sequence. The specificity in gene...
