A new framework for deriving equations of motion for constrained quantum systems is introduced, and a procedure for its implementation is outlined. In special cases the framework reduces to a quantum analogue of the Dirac theory of constrains in classical mechanics. Explicit examples involving spin-1/2 particles are worked out in detail: in one example our approach coincides with a quantum version of the Dirac formalism, while the other example illustrates how a situation that cannot be treated by Diracs approach can nevertheless be dealt with in the present scheme.

A general prescription for the treatment of constrained quantum motion is outlined. We consider in particular constraints defined by algebraic submanifolds of the quantum state space. The resulting formalism is applied to obtain solutions to the cons trained dynamics of systems of multiple spin-1/2 particles. When the motion is constrained to a certain product space containing all of the energy eigenstates, the dynamics thus obtained are quasi-unitary in the sense that the equations of motion take a form identical to that of unitary motion, but with different boundary conditions. When the constrained subspace is a product space of disentangled states, the associated motion is more intricate. Nevertheless, the equations of motion satisfied by the dynamical variables are obtained in closed form.

External potentials play a crucial role in modelling quantum systems, since, for a given inter- particle interaction, they define the system Hamiltonian. We use the metric space approach to quantum mechanics to derive, from the energy conservation la w, two natural metrics for potentials. We show that these metrics are well defined for physical potentials, regardless of whether the system is in an eigenstate or if the potential is bounded. In addition, we discuss the gauge freedom of potentials and how to ensure that the metrics preserve physical relevance. Our metrics for potentials, together with the metrics for wavefunctions and densities from [I. DAmico, J. P. Coe, V. V. Franca, and K. Capelle, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 050401 (2011)] paves the way for a comprehensive study of the two fundamental theorems of Density Functional Theory. We explore these by analysing two many- body systems for which the related exact Kohn-Sham systems can be derived. First we consider the information provided by each of the metrics, and we find that the density metric performs best in distinguishing two many-body systems. Next we study for the systems at hand the one-to-one relationships among potentials, ground state wavefunctions, and ground state densities defined by the Hohenberg-Kohn theorem as relationships in metric spaces. We find that, in metric space, these relationships are monotonic and incorporate regions of linearity, at least for the systems considered. Finally, we use the metrics for wavefunctions and potentials in order to assess quantitatively how close the many-body and Kohn-Sham systems are: We show that, at least for the systems analysed, both metrics provide a consistent picture, and for large regions of the parameter space the error in approximating the many-body wavefunction with the Kohn-Sham wavefunction lies under a threshold of 10%.

Annealing approach to quantum tomography is theoretically proposed. First, based on the maximum entropy principle, we introduce classical parameters to combine quantum models (or quantum states) given a prior for potentially representing the unknown target state. Then, we formulate the quantum tomography as an optimization problem on the classical parameters, by employing relative entropy of the parametrized state with the target state as the objective function to be minimized. We show that the objective function is physically implementable, in a theoretical sense at least, as an effective Hamiltonian to be induced by physical interactions of the system with environment systems being prepared in the target state. Corollary, applying quantum annealing to the effective Hamiltonian, we can execute quantum tomography by obtaining the ground state that gives the optimal parameters.
We study the mirror-field interaction in several frameworks: when it is driven, when it is affected by an environment and when a two-level atom is introduced in the cavity. By using operator techniques we show how these problems may be either solved or how the Hamiltonians involved, via sets of unitary transformations, may be taken to known Hamiltonians for which there exist approximate solutions.

Quantum metrology plays a fundamental role in many scientific areas. However, the complexity of engineering entangled probes and the external noise raise technological barriers for realizing the expected precision of the to-be-estimated parameter wit h given resources. Here, we address this problem by introducing adjustable controls into the encoding process and then utilizing a hybrid quantum-classical approach to automatically optimize the controls online. Our scheme does not require any complex or intractable off-line design, and it can inherently correct certain unitary errors during the learning procedure. We also report the first experimental demonstration of this promising scheme for the task of finding optimal probes for frequency estimation on a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) processor. The proposed scheme paves the way to experimentally auto-search optimal protocol for improving the metrology precision.
