In this work, we describe in detail the chopped random basis (CRAB) optimal control technique recently introduced to optimize time-dependent density matrix renormalization group simulations [P. Doria, T. Calarco, and S. Montangero, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 190501 (2011)]. Here, we study the efficiency of this control technique in optimizing different quantum processes and we show that in the considered cases we obtain results equivalent to those obtained via different optimal control methods while…

Optimal control methods for quantum gate preparation: a comparative study
TLDR
From the numerical simulations, it is observed that GOAT achieves better results as compared to Krotov, GRAPE and CRAB, in terms of minimum infidelity, algorithmic simplicity and analyticity.

Information theoretical analysis of quantum optimal control.
TLDR
It is shown that if an efficient classical representation of the dynamics exists, optimal control problems on many-body quantum systems can be solved efficiently with finite precision and one-dimensional slightly entangled dynamics can be efficiently controlled.
Hybrid optimization schemes for quantum control
TLDR
A two-stage optimization scheme to significantly speed up convergence and achieve simpler controls is proposed, showing that a combination of Nelder-Mead simplex and Krotov’s method yields considerably better results than either one of the two methods alone.

Push-Pull Optimization of Quantum Controls
TLDR
A stronger objective function which incorporates not only the target operator but also a set of its orthogonal operators is proposed, which finds significantly superior convergence of optimization routines with the combined influences of all the operators.
