Composite pulses in N-level systems with SU(2) symmetry and their geometrical representation on the Majorana sphere

摘要

High fidelity and robustness in population inversion is very desirable for many quantum control applications. We expand composite pulse schemes developed for two-level dynamics and present an analytic solution for the coherent evolution of an N-level quantum system with SU(2) symmetry, for achieving high fidelity and robust population inversion. Our approach offers a platform for accurate steering of the population transfer in physical multi-level systems, which is crucial for fidelity in quantum computation and achieving fundamental excitations in nuclear magnetic resonances and atomic physics. We also introduce and discuss the geometrical trajectories of these dynamics on the Majorana sphere as an interpretation, allowing us to gain physical insight on the dynamics of many-body or high-dimensional quantum systems.
