Abstract

This paper develops a resource-bounded framework for evaluating practical controllability in open quantum systems using a trained graybox response model. Rather than treating controllability as a binary property of an idealised Hamiltonian model, the proposed approach evaluates the best-achievable process fidelity over a finite, hardware-realisable pulse family under explicit control constraints. The graybox model retains the known coherent dynamics while learning control-dependent open-system distortions from pulse-response data. The resulting surrogate predictions are used to reconstruct the implemented processes and compare them with Haar-random target gates. Practical controllability is then characterised through the distribution of best-achievable infidelities and an area-based summary metric. The framework is demonstrated for a driven qubit under closed-system, classical-noise, and combined quantum-plus-classical-noise dynamics, with pulse amplitude and inverse Gaussian width used as the control-resource coordinates. The results show how finite control resources and open-system noise jointly constrain the gate performance attainable by the chosen pulse family.

Benchmarking indirect quantum control schemes via higher-order quantum operations

Indirect quantum control aims to manipulate a target system through interventions on an auxiliary controller with which it interacts. We formulate finite-step indirect-control protocols using the language of higher-order quantum operations, representing admissible controller manipulations as deterministic superinstrume...

Automating Variational Quantum Sensing through Reinforcement-Learned Circuit Structures

Numerical results show that the learned architectures recover known benchmark strategies, adapt to dephasing noise, and outperform fixed hardware-efficient ans\"atze while using fewer entangling gates, establishing AutoQSense as a resource-aware approach to adaptive and hardware-compatible quantum sensing.

Reusable selected-time channels for quantum simulation of non-Markovian dynamics

Non-Markovian quantum-state diffusion (QSD) provides a microscopic trajectory description of open-system dynamics, but trajectories associated with a chosen initial state are not directly reusable as quantum channels. We develop a constructive framework that converts the QSD propagator into an input-independent Kraus c...
