We present an approach to single-shot high-fidelity preparation of an $n$-qubit state based on neighboring optimal control theory. This represents a new application of the neighboring optimal control formalism which was originally developed to produce single-shot high-fidelity quantum gates. To illustrate the approach, and to provide a proof-of-principle, we use it to prepare the two qubit Bell state $|beta_{01}rangle = (1/sqrt{2})left[, |01rangle + |10rangle,right]$ with an error probability $epsilonsim 10^{-6}$ ($10^{-5}$) for ideal (non-ideal) control. Using standard methods in the literature, these high-fidelity Bell states can be leveraged to fault-tolerantly prepare the logical state $|overline{beta}_{01}rangle$.

Precise control of quantum systems is of fundamental importance for quantum device engineering, such as is needed in the fields of quantum information processing, high-resolution spectroscopy and quantum metrology. When scaling up the quantum registe rs in such devices, several challenges arise: individual addressing of qubits in a dense spectrum while suppressing crosstalk, creation of entanglement between distant nodes, and decoupling from unwanted interactions. The experimental implementation of optimal control is a prerequisite to meeting these challenges. Using engineered microwave pulses, we experimentally demonstrate optimal control of a prototype solid state spin qubit system comprising thirty six energy levels. The spin qubits are associated with proximal nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in diamond. We demonstrate precise single-electron spin qubit operations with an unprecedented fidelity F approx 0.99 in combination with high-efficiency storage of electron spin states in a nuclear spin quantum memory. Matching single-electron spin operations with spin-echo techniques, we further realize high-quality entangled states (F > 0.82) between two electron spins on demand. After exploiting optimal control, the fidelity is mostly limited by the coherence time and imperfect initialization. Errors from crosstalk in a crowded spectrum of 8 lines as well as detrimental effects from active dipolar couplings have been simultaneously eliminated to unprecedented extent. Finally, by entanglement swapping to nuclear spins, nuclear spin entanglement over a length scale of 25 nm is demonstrated. This experiment underlines the importance of optimal control for scalable room temperature spin-based quantum information devices.

Successful implementation of a fault-tolerant quantum computation on a system of qubits places severe demands on the hardware used to control the many-qubit state. It is known that an accuracy threshold $P_{a}$ exists for any quantum gate that is to be used in such a computation. Specifically, the error probability $P_{e}$ for such a gate must fall below the accuracy threshold: $P_{e} < P_{a}$. Estimates of $P_{a}$ vary widely, though $P_{a}sim 10^{-4}$ has emerged as a challenging target for hardware designers. In this paper we present a theoretical framework based on neighboring optimal control that takes as input a good quantum gate and returns a new gate with better performance. We illustrate this approach by applying it to all gates in a universal set of quantum gates produced using non-adiabatic rapid passage that has appeared in the literature. Performance improvements are substantial, both for ideal and non-ideal controls. Under suitable conditions detailed below, all gate error probabilities fall well below the target threshold of $10^{-4}$.
Entanglement generation in trapped-ion systems has relied thus far on two distinct but related geometric phase gate techniques: Molmer-Sorensen and light-shift gates. We recently proposed a variant of the light-shift scheme where the qubit levels are separated by an optical frequency [B. C. Sawyer and K. R. Brown, Phys. Rev. A 103, 022427 (2021)]. Here we report an experimental demonstration of this entangling gate using a pair of $^{40}$Ca$^+$ ions in a cryogenic surface-electrode ion trap and a commercial, high-power, 532 nm Nd:YAG laser. Generating a Bell state in 35 $mu$s, we directly measure an infidelity of $6(3) times 10^{-4}$ without subtraction of experimental errors. The 532 nm gate laser wavelength suppresses intrinsic photon scattering error to $sim 1 times 10^{-5}$. This result establishes our scheme as competitive with previously demonstrated entangling gates.
Highly state-selective, weakly dissipative population transfer is used to irreversibly move the population of one ground state qubit level of an atomic ion to an effectively stable excited manifold with high fidelity. Subsequent laser interrogation a ccurately distinguishes these electronic manifolds, and we demonstrate a total qubit state preparation and measurement (SPAM) inaccuracy $epsilon_mathrm{SPAM} < 1.7 times 10^{-4}$ ($-38 mbox{ dB}$), limited by imperfect population transfer between qubit eigenstates. We show experimentally that full transfer would yield an inaccuracy less than $8.0 times 10^{-5}$ ($-41 mbox{ dB}$). The high precision of this method revealed a rare ($approx 10^{-4}$) magnetic dipole decay induced error that we demonstrate can be corrected by driving an additional transition. Since this technique allows fluorescence collection for effectively unlimited periods, high fidelity qubit SPAM is achievable even with limited optical access and low quantum efficiency.
Quantum information technologies require careful control for generating and preserving a desired target quantum state. The biggest practical obstacle is, of course, decoherence. Therefore, the reachability analysis, which in our scenario aims to esti mate the distance between the controlled state under decoherence and the target state, is of great importance to evaluate the realistic performance of those technologies. This paper presents a lower bound of the fidelity-based distance for a general open Markovian quantum system driven by the decoherence process and several types of control including feedback. The lower bound is straightforward to calculate and can be used as a guide for choosing the target state, as demonstrated in some examples. Moreover, the lower bound is applied to derive a theoretical limit in some quantum metrology problems based on a large-size atomic ensemble under control and decoherence.
