This work provides a complete solution to a control problem in quantum thermodynamics, with potential applications in quantum technologies, though the results are domain-specific.
The authors use geometric optimal control to solve the minimum-time transition problem between thermal equilibrium states of the quantum parametric oscillator, discovering a new class of optimal solutions not previously reported.
In this article, we use geometric optimal control to completely solve the problem of minimum-time transitions between thermal equilibrium states of the quantum parametric oscillator, which finds applications in various physical contexts. We discover a new kind of optimal solutions, absent from all the previous treatments of the problem.
