seminar: Concepts in Control of Open Quantum Systems and Quantum Information

speaker: Lorenza Viola (Dartmouth College)

abstract: Developing theoretical and practical methodologies for accurately controlling the dynamics of quantum systems is a challenge of growing significance across contemporary physics, engineering, and quantum information sciences. While quantum control theory is relatively well established for closed quantum systems undergoing unitary dynamics, realistic situations unavoidably entail control of open quantum systems whose dynamics is non-unitary due to interaction with the environment. These lectures are intended to provide a survey of basic control concepts and methods for open quantum systems, with an eye toward applications in quantum information processing. In particular, after an overview of relevant control settings and existing control strategies, special attention will be devoted to describing dynamical decoupling methods as a tool for coherent dynamical control and decoherence suppression.
