Quantum speed limit and optimal evolution time in a two-level system

Quantum Limit on Computational Time and Speed

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 compu...

Optimal two-level speed assignment for real-time systems

Reducing energy consumption is one of the main concerns in the design and implementation of embedded real-time systems. For this reason, the current generation of processors allows to vary voltage and operating frequency to balance computational speed and energy consumption. This technique is called dynamic voltage scaling (DVS). When applying DVS to hard real-time systems, it is important to p...

Time optimal simultaneous control of two level quantum systems

Minimal evolution time and quantum speed limit of non-Markovian open systems.

We derive a sharp bound as the quantum speed limit (QSL) for the minimal evolution time of quantum open systems in the non-Markovian strong-coupling regime with initial mixed states by considering the effects of both renormalized Hamiltonian and dissipator. For a non-Markovian quantum open system, the possible evolution time between two arbitrary states is not unique, among the set of which we ...

Coherent Control of Quantum Entropy via Quantum Interference in a Four-Level Atomic System

The time evaluation of quantum entropy in a four-level double- type atomic system is theoretically investigated. Quantum entanglement of the atom and its spontaneous emission fields is then discussed via quantum entropy. It is found that the degree of entanglement can be increased by the quantum interference induced by spontaneous emission. The phase dependence of the atom-field entanglement is...
