6CCVD Technical Documentation: Robust Transitionless Quantum Control via NV Diamond
Section titled “6CCVD Technical Documentation: Robust Transitionless Quantum Control via NV Diamond”Executive Summary
Section titled “Executive Summary”This documentation analyzes a research paper detailing a highly robust, nonadiabatic protocol for controlling three-level quantum systems using Multiple Schrödinger Dynamics (MSDs). The physical implementation relies fundamentally on Nitrogen-Vacancy (NV) centers embedded in high-purity diamond coupled to a Transmission Line Resonator (TLR).
- Core Achievement: Demonstrated a simple and efficient scheme for physically feasible Transitionless Quantum Driving (TQD) in three-level systems by employing MSDs.
- Physical Architecture: Utilizes two Nitrogen-Vacancy-Center Ensembles (NVEs) coupled to a high-Quality factor (Q) Transmission Line Resonator (TLR) in a hybrid system configuration.
- Material Dependence: Requires high-purity diamond substrates to host the NVEs, achieving long dephasing times (T2 > 600 µs) critical for robust operation at room temperature.
- Performance Metrics: Achieved simulated near-perfect population transfer (100% fidelity) and robust superposition state generation.
- Robustness Verified: The MSDs protocol is shown to be significantly more robust than conventional STIRAP against both control parameter fluctuations and high environmental decoherence (tested successfully up to 200 times the baseline cavity decay rate).
- Efficiency: The scheme minimizes resource requirements (one TLR, two NVEs) and operates in a single-shot, nonadiabatic process, offering accelerated quantum evolution.
Technical Specifications
Section titled “Technical Specifications”The following hard data points were extracted from the simulation parameters and referenced experimental capabilities, detailing the operational requirements for the NVE-TLR hybrid system.
| Parameter | Value | Unit | Context |
|---|---|---|---|
| Effective Coupling Strength ($\eta_0/2\pi$) | 1.6 | MHz | Baseline peak amplitude for Gaussian-shaped pulses |
| TLR Coupling Strength ($g/2\pi$) | 20 | MHz | Coupling between NVE and TLR (feasible parameter) |
| Detuning ($\Delta/2\pi$) | 200 | MHz | Applied detuning for the $\vert a\rangle \leftrightarrow \vert e\rangle$ transition |
| Microwave Pulse Amplitude ($\Omega_0/2\pi$) | 16 | MHz | Used to calculate the effective coupling strength $\eta_j(t)$ |
| Total Operation Time ($\tau$) | 1.2 | µs | Short time required to satisfy adiabatic conditions |
| Gaussian Pulse Width ($T$) | 0.408 | µs | Time constant for coupling strength pulse shaping |
| TLR Decay Time ($\kappa^{⁻1}$) | 50 | µs | Current experimental capability for coplanar waveguide resonators |

| Minimum Fidelity (Decoherence Test) | 89.60 | % | Achieved under severe cavity decay ($\kappa’/\kappa = 200$) |
Key Methodologies
Section titled “Key Methodologies”The robust quantum control was achieved through a systematic application of Multiple Schrödinger Dynamics (MSDs) implemented on a specific diamond-based hybrid quantum system.
- System Configuration: Two V-style three-level qubits (NVEs, states $\vert a\rangle, \vert g\rangle, \vert e\rangle$) are dispersively coupled to a single high-Q Transmission Line Resonator (TLR) mode.
- Hamiltonian Construction: The transitionless Hamiltonian $H(t)$ is derived using the iterative MSD process, ensuring the required counter-diabatic driving term ($H_{cd}(t)$) is physically feasible and simple, without introducing extra couplings or detunings. The final effective Hamiltonian $H_M(t)$ matches the form of the original system Hamiltonian $H_0(t)$.
- Driving Mechanism: The effective coupling strengths ($\eta_1, \eta_2$) governing the transitions are controlled flexibly by manipulating the time-dependent Rabi frequency ($\Omega_{L,j}(t)$) of an off-resonant microwave pulse.
- Pulse Shaping: The required effective coupling strengths $\eta_1$ and $\eta_2$ are tailored into Gaussian shapes over the microsecond timescale to enable the nonadiabatic, fast population transfer.
- Quantum Operation: Population transfer ($\vert \phi_2\rangle \rightarrow \vert \phi_1\rangle$) and superposition state generation are performed in a single-shot operation, exploiting the robustness of the dark state subspace inherent to the TQD/MSDs approach.

Three-level quantum systems, which possess some unique characteristics beyond\ntwo-level ones, such as electromagnetically induced transparency, coherent\ntrapping, and Raman scatting, play important roles in solid-state quantum\ninformation processing. Here, we introduce an approach to implement the\nphysically feasible three-level transitionless quantum driving with multiple\nSchr\“{o}dinger dynamics (MSDs). It can be used to control accurately\npopulation transfer and entanglement generation for three-level quantum systems\nin a nonadiabatic way. Moreover, we propose an experimentally realizable hybrid\narchitecture, based on two nitrogen-vacancy-center ensembles coupled to a\ntransmission line resonator, to realize our transitionless scheme which\nrequires fewer physical resources and simple procedures, and it is more robust\nagainst environmental noises and control parameter variations than conventional\nadiabatic passage techniques. All these features inspire the further\napplication of MSDs on robust quantum information processing in experiment.\n
