Binary Optimal Control Of Single-Flux-Quantum Pulse Sequences

Understand

We introduce a binary, relaxed gradient, trust-region method for optimizing pulse sequences for single flux quanta (SFQ) control of a quantum computer.

• The pulse sequences are optimized with the goal of realizing unitary gate transformations.
• Each pulse has a fixed amplitude and duration.
• We model this process as an binary optimal control problem, constrained by Schr\"{o}dinger's equation, where the binary variables indicate whether each pulse is on or off.
