理解量子控制景观（QCL）对设计高效量子控制策略至关重要。本研究针对单个两能级系统（量子比特）分析了多种控制策略下的QCL。采用主成分分析（PCA）可视化并分析高维控制参数的QCL，结果表明，如PCA等降维技术在理解高维量子控制复杂性方面具有重要作用。传统控制方法与机器学习算法的评估显示，遗传算法（GA）优于随机梯度下降（SGD），而Q-learning（QL）相比深度Q网络（DQN）和近端策略优化（PPO）展现出更大潜力。此外，实验表明，在短时间步系统中，使用即时奖励比延迟奖励性能更优。通过聚类密度指数（CDI）分析解空间复杂性，该指标反映最优解聚集质量，可判断算法是否生成高保真区域。研究为有效量子控制策略提供了新见解，强调参数选择与算法优化的重要性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Understanding the quantum control landscape (QCL) is important for designing effective quantum control strategies. In this study, we analyze the QCL for a single two-level quantum system (qubit) using various control strategies. We employ Principal Component Analysis (PCA), to visualize and analyze the QCL for higher dimensional control parameters. Our results indicate that dimensionality reduction techniques such as PCA, can play an important role in understanding the complex nature of quantum control in higher dimensions. Evaluations of traditional control techniques and machine learning algorithms reveal that Genetic Algorithms (GA) outperform Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), while Q-learning (QL) shows great promise compared to Deep Q-Networks (DQN) and Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO). Additionally, our experiments highlight the importance of reward function design in DQN and PPO demonstrating that using immediate reward results in improved performance rather than delayed rewards for systems with short time steps. A study of solution space complexity was conducted by using Cluster Density Index (CDI) as a key metric for analyzing the density of optimal solutions in the landscape. The CDI reflects cluster quality and helps determine whether a given algorithm generates regions of high fidelity or not. Our results provide insights into effective quantum control strategies, emphasizing the significance of parameter selection and algorithm optimization.
