Quantum mechanics establishes a fundamental bound for the minimum evolution time between two states of a given system. Known as the quantum speed limit (QSL), it is a useful tool in the context of quantum control, where the speed of some control protocol is usually intended to be as large as possible. While QSL expressions for time-independent hamiltonians have been well studied, the time-dependent regime has remained somewhat unexplored, albeit being usually the relevant problem to be compared with when studying systems controlled by external fields. In this paper we explore the relation between optimal times found in quantum control and the QSL bound, in the (relevant) time-dependent regime, by discussing the ubiquitous two-level Landau-Zener type hamiltonian.

A remarkably simple result is derived for the minimal time $T_{rm min}$ required to drive a general initial state to a final target state by a Landau-Zener type Hamiltonian or, equivalently, by time-dependent laser driving. The associated protocol is also derived. A surprise arises for some states when the interaction strength is assumed to be bounded by a constant $c$. Then, for large $c$, the optimal driving is of type bang-off-bang and for increasing $c$ one recovers the unconstrained result. However, for smaller $c$ the optimal driving can suddenly switch to bang-bang type. We discuss the notion of quantum speed limit time.
One of the fundamental physical limits on the speed of time evolution of a quantum state is known in the form of the celebrated Mandelshtam-Tamm inequality. This inequality gives an answer to the question on how fast an isolated quantum system can evolve from its initial state to an orthogonal one. In its turn, the Fleming bound is an extension of the Mandelshtam-Tamm inequality that gives an optimal speed bound for the evolution between non-orthogonal initial and final states. In the present work, we are concerned not with a single state but with a whole (possibly infinite-dimensional) subspace of the system states that are subject to the Schroedinger evolution. By using the concept of maximal angle between subspaces we derive an optimal estimate on the speed of such a subspace evolution that may be viewed as a natural generalization of the Fleming bound.
A remarkably simple result is found for the optimal protocol of drivings for a general two-level Hamiltonian which transports a given initial state to a given final state in minimal time. If one of the three possible drivings is unconstrained in strength the problem is analytically completely solvable. A surprise arises for a class of states when one driving is bounded by a constant $c$ and the other drivings are constant. Then, for large $c$, the optimal driving is of type bang-off-bang and for increasing $c$ one recovers the unconstrained result. However, for smaller $c$ the optimal driving can suddenly switch to bang-bang type. It is also shown that for general states one may have a multistep protocol. The present paper explicitly proves and considerably extends the authors results contained in Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 111}, 260501 (2013).
We investigate if physical laws can impose limit on computational time and speed of a quantum computer built from elementary particles. We show that the product of the speed and the running time of a quantum computer is limited by the type of fundamental interactions present inside the system. This will help us to decide as to what type of interaction should be allowed in building quantum computers in achieving the desired speed.
We investigate the roles of the relativistic effect on the speed of evolution of a quantum system coupled with amplitude damping channels. We find that the relativistic effect speed-up the quantum evolution to a uniform evolution speed of open quantum systems for the damping parameter $p_{tau}lesssim p_{tau_{c0}}.$ Moreover, we point out a non-monotonic behavior of the quantum speed limit time (QSLT) with acceleration in the damping limit $p_{tau_{c0}}lesssim p_{tau}lesssim p_{tau_{c1}},$ where the relativistic effect first speed-up and then slow down the quantum evolution process of the damped system. For the damping strength $p_{tau_{c1}}lesssim p_{tau}$, we observe a monotonic increasing behavior of QSLT, leads to slow down the quantum evolution of the damped system. In addition, we examine the roles of the relativistic effect on the speed limit time for a system coupled with the phase damping channels.
