High-Fidelity and Robust Stimulated Raman Transition with Parameter-Modulated Optimal Control

Abstract

High-fidelity and robust quantum control is essential for large-scale quantum information processing. The stimulated Raman transition that utilizes second-order coupling effect is a valuable and conventional technique for manipulating states in multi-level quantum systems, but its accuracy is limited by the driving-induced Stark shift. Here, we propose a new parameter-modulated method to effectively compensate the Stark-shift effect, so that we are able to realize high-fidelity and robust stimulated Raman transition with optimal control. Additionally, its robustness against different systematic errors can be further improved via optimization its average fidelity under these specific errors. Besides, our method has potential applications for high-fidelity and robust quantum control in high-order coupling scenarios.
