A Classification of Hirota-Integrable Supersymmetric Bilinear KdV-Type Equations

We present a classification of supersymmetric bilinear KdV-type equations admitting unconstrained three-super-soliton solutions. Extending Hirota's classical three-soliton criterion to the supersymmetric setting, we derive the complete bosonic and fermionic compatibility conditions governing the existence of three-super-soliton solutions. We prove that every supersymmetric bilinear KdV-type equation possesses unconstrained one- and two-super-soliton solutions, whereas three-super-soliton solutions exist only when eight integrability conditions are satisfied. These conditions provide a supersymmetric analogue of Hirota's classical integrability criterion and naturally recover the fermionic relations previously introduced by Carstea, revealing their structural origin. As a consequence, we classify the supersymmetric extensions of Hirota bilinear KdV-type equations and show that only a subset of Hietarinta's classical classification remains valid in the unrestricted supersymmetric framework.

Reinforcement Learning for Robust Calibration of Multi-Qudit Quantum Gates

Higher-dimensional quantum systems, such as qudits, offer architectural and algorithmic advantages over qubits, but their increased spectral crowding and limited controllability render high-fidelity quantum gates particularly challenging. We propose a hybrid optimization framework that integrates optimal control theory methods with contextual deep reinforcement learning to achieve robust controlled-phase gates on two qutrits. Optimal control is first used to design high-fidelity control pulses for a nominal system model. Reinforcement learning is then employed as a calibration stage that learns small residual corrections to these pulses in the presence of static model mismatch, thereby preserving good gate performance under realistic parameter uncertainties. By learning structured, low-dimensional residual corrections conditioned on device-specific parameter variations, reinforcement learning enhances the transfer robustness of nominally optimal but parameter-sensitive control solutions across ensembles of devices. Crucially, the reinforcement learning step in our framework does not compete with the optimal control step but provides the adaptability required for realistic hardware, systematically reducing the sensitivity to parameter fluctuations. Our results establish reinforcement learning as a practical and scalable ingredient for robust calibration of quantum gates in high-dimensional systems.

Harnessing Environmental Memory with Reinforcement Learning in Open Quantum Systems

Non-Markovian quantum dynamics, characterized by information backflow from the environment to the system, has emerged as a potential resource for quantum technologies. A key challenge is therefore to control and enhance such memory effects. In this work, we investigate the use of reinforcement learning (RL) to maximize non-Markovianity in a driven two-level system coupled to a structured reservoir. We compare RL-based control strategies with standard optimal control theory (OCT). We show that OCT produces localized but relatively weak revivalsin the instantaneous non-Markovianity rate, whereas RL policies generate significantly stronger and better-timed information backflow by synchronizing the system dynamics with favorable memory intervals of the environment. This enhanced exploitation of memory effects leads to a higher total integrated non-Markovianity for RL than for OCT, with SAC achieving the largest overall enhancement and PPO delivering slightly lower but still strongly improved performance with smoother, experimentally attractive pulses. Our results contribute to the emerging view of non-Markovianity as an operational resource and illustrate how RL can serve as a flexible, model-free tool for non-Markovian quantum control.

Vector Representation of Exact Soliton Dynamics in Multi-component Nonlinear Schrödinger Systems

Multicomponent nonlinear Schrödinger equations constitute fundamental models for coherent matter waves in multicomponent Bose--Einstein condensates, spinor quantum fluids, and vector nonlinear optical systems. We develop a vector formulation of the Hirota bilinear formalism for the completely integrable Manakov system that treats the coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations directly at the vector level rather than through the conventional component-wise decomposition. This framework naturally retains the intrinsic multicomponent representation of the model while providing compact analytical expressions for exact vector soliton solutions. Within this approach, we systematically construct bright, dark, and mixed one-, two-, and three-soliton solutions and show how the underlying vector structure provides a unified description of their nonlinear interactions. In particular, the proposed formalism makes the coupling between the different components explicit while preserving the geometric organization of the vector system throughout the bilinearization procedure. Beyond its analytical simplicity, the framework offers a natural perspective for the study of coherent multicomponent nonlinear excitations and provides a foundation for extending vector Hirota methods to other classes of exact solutions, including rogue waves, periodic waves, and rational solutions.

A Vector Bilinear Framework for Soliton Dynamics in Coupled Modified KdV Systems

We investigate the integrable structure and soliton dynamics of a coupled modified Korteweg-de Vries (cmKdV) system with a real symmetric coupling matrix. We introduce a vector reformulation of Hirota's bilinear formalism in which both the bilinear equations and their solutions are expressed directly at the vector level, rather than through a component-wise construction. This formulation preserves the intrinsic structure of the coupled system and provides a compact framework for multi-component nonlinear wave dynamics. Within this approach, we construct explicit one-, two-, and three-soliton solutions in closed vector form and recover the three-soliton condition directly at the vector level, confirming consistency with integrability. The method enables a unified treatment of focusing, defocusing, and mixed-sign regimes. In particular, for indefinite coupling, it reveals the existence of nontrivial vector ground states, leading to soliton solutions on non-zero backgrounds. These results highlight the structural advantages of the vector bilinear approach and open perspectives for the study of more general nonlinear excitations in multi-component integrable systems.

Towards a Twisted Atom Laser: Cold Atoms Released from Helical Optical Tube Potentials

We study the quantum dynamics of cold atoms initially confined in a Helical Optical Tube (HOT) and subsequently released into free space. This helicoidal potential, engineered via structured light fields with orbital angular momentum, imposes a twisted geometry on the atomic ensemble during confinement. We examine how this geometry shapes the initial quantum state particularly its spatial localization and phase structure and how these features influence the subsequent free evolution. Our analysis reveals that the overall confinement geometry supports the formation of spatially coherent, structured wavepackets, paving the way for the realization of twisted Bose Einstein condensates and directed atom lasers. The results are of particular interest for applications in quantum technologies, such as coherent atom beam shaping, matter-wave interferometry, and guided transport of quantum matter.

Optically tuned soliton dynamics in Bose-Einstein condensates within dark traps

This study investigates the formation and dynamics of solitons in Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) within dark traps generated by two crossed Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams with varying azimuthal indices $\ell$. As the index $\ell$ increases, the potential transitions from a harmonic trap when $\ell = 1$ to a square-well potential for larger values of $\ell$. This transition allows us to study a range of soliton dynamics under different confinement conditions while maintaining the same BEC volume. Through the derivation of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) and under these specific conditions in both one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) configurations, we explore the dynamics of solitons across multiple scenarios. The study examines two primary methods for solitons generation: the temporal modulation of the scattering length and the implementation of an initial potential barrier that is subsequently removed. The results indicate that the trap shape plays a critical role in the generation and interaction dynamics of solitons. In harmonic traps, solitons exhibit a behavior different from those observed in anharmonic traps, where the dynamics is significantly influenced by the azimuthal index of the trap. The ability to control soliton dynamics in BECs holds significant promise for applications in quantum technologies, precision sensing, and the exploration of fundamental quantum phenomena.

Managing Temperature in Open Quantum Systems Strongly Coupled with Structured Environments

In non-perturbative non-Markovian open quantum systems, reaching either low temperatures with the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) or high temperatures with the Thermalized Time Evolving Density Operator with Orthogonal Polynomials (T-TEDOPA) formalism in Hilbert space remains challenging. We compare different manners of modeling the environment. Sampling the Fourier transform of the bath correlation function, also called temperature dependent spectral density, proves to be very effective. T-TEDOPA (Tamascelli et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 090402 (2019)) uses a linear chain of oscillators with positive and negative frequencies while HEOM is based on the complex poles of an optimized rational decomposition of the temperature dependent spectral density (Xu et al. Phys. Rev. Lett. 129, 230601 (2022)). Resorting to the poles of the temperature independent spectral density and of the Bose function separately is an alternative when the problem due to the huge number of the Bose poles at low temperature is circumvented. Two examples illustrate the effectiveness of the HEOM and T-TEDOPA approaches: a benchmark pure dephasing case and a two-bath model simulating dynamics of excited electronic states coupled through a conical intersection. We show the efficiency of T-TEDOPA to simulate dynamics at a finite temperature by using either continuous spectral densities or only all the intramolecular oscillators of a linear vibronic model calibrated from ab initio data of a phenylene ethynylene dimer.

Re-exploring Control Strategies in a Non-Markovian Open Quantum System by Reinforcement Learning

In this study, we reexamine a recent optimal control simulation targeting the preparation of a superposition of two excited electronic states in the UV range in a complex molecular system. We revisit this control from the perspective of reinforcement learning, offering an efficient alternative to conventional quantum control methods. The two excited states are addressable by orthogonal polarizations and their superposition corresponds to a right or left localization of the electronic density. The pulse duration spans tens of femtoseconds to prevent excitation of higher excited bright states what leads to a strong perturbation by the nuclear motions. We modify an open source software by L. Giannelli et al., Phys. Lett. A, 434, 128054 (2022) that implements reinforcement learning with Lindblad dynamics, to introduce non-Markovianity of the surrounding either by timedependent rates or more exactly by using the hierarchical equations of motion with the QuTiP-BoFiN package. This extension opens the way to wider applications for non-Markovian environments, in particular when the active system interacts with a highly structured noise.

Survey of the Hierarchical Equations of Motion in Tensor-Train format for non-Markovian quantum dynamics

This work is a pedagogical survey about the hierarchical equations of motion and their implementation with the tensor-train format. These equations are a great standard in non-perturbative non-Markovian open quantum systems. They are exact for harmonic baths in the limit of relevant truncation of the hierarchy. We recall the link with the perturbative second order time convolution equations also known as the Bloch-Redfield equations. Some theoretical tools characterizing non-Markovian dynamics such as the non- Markovianity measures or the dynamical map are also briefly discussed in the context of HEOM simulations. The main points of the tensor-train expansion are illustrated in an example with a qubit interacting with a bath described by a Lorentzian spectral density. Finally, we give three illustrative applications in which the system-bath coupling operator is similar to that of the analytical treatment. The first example revisits a model in which population-to-coherence transfer via the bath creates a long-lasting coherence between two states. The second one is devoted to the computation of stationary absorption and emission spectra. We illustrate the link between the spectral density and the Stokes shift in situations with and without nonadiabatic interaction. Finally, we simulate an excitation transfer when the spectral density is discretized by undamped modes to illustrate a situation in which the TT formulation is more efficient than the standard one.

Vibrational-ground-state zero-width resonances for laser filtration: An extended semiclassical analysis

A semiclassical model supporting the destructive interference interpretation of zero-width resonances (ZWR) is extended to wavelengths inducing c_minus-type curve crossing situations in Na2 strong field dissociation. This opens the possibility to get critical couples of wavelengths lambda and field intensities I to reach ZWRs associated with the ground vibrationless level v = 0, that, contrary to other vibrational states (v > 0), is not attainable for the commonly referred c+-type crossings. The morphology of such ZWRs in the laser (I; lambda) parameter plane and their usefulness in filtration strategies aiming at molecular cooling down to the ground v = 0 state are examined within the frame of an adiabatic transport scheme.

Efficient STIRAP-like scheme for coherent population transfer by revisited optimal control theory

We demonstrate that Optimal Control Theory (OCT) with a state-dependent constraint which depends on the state of the system at each instant can reproduce the famous counterintuitive mechanism of Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). We examine this behavior in a Λ-type three-level system and we show that could be applied for sequentially coupled many-level systems. We study the robustness of the two methods with respect to pulse fluctuations and the decays. We show that new OCT formulation appears to be more robust than STIRAP when a perturbation is introduced in the pulses. Such method is of great use for systems involving coherence loss such as molecular systems with dissociation or ionization limits. It also may find potential applications in the control of chemical reactions, quantum optics, and quantum information processing.

Clusters of Exceptional Points for a Laser Control of Selective Vibrational Transfer

When a molecule is exposed to a laser field, all field-free vibrational states become resonances, with complex quasi energies calculated using Floquet theory. There are many ways to produce the coalescences of pairs of such quasi energies, with appropriate wavelength-intensity choices which define Exceptional Points (EP) in the laser parameter plane. We dress for the molecular ion H$_2^+$ an exhaustive map of these exceptional points which appear in clusters. Such clusters can be used to define several vibrational transfer scenarios implying more than a single exceptional point, exchanging single or multiple vibrational quanta. The ultimate goal is molecular vibrational cooling by transferring an initial (thermal, for instance) population on a final (ground, for instance) single vibrational state.

Bose-Einstein condensation with a finite number of particles in a power-law trap

Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of an ideal gas is investigated, beyond the thermodynamic limit, for a finite number $N$ of particles trapped in a generic three-dimensional power-law potential. We derive an analytical expression for the condensation temperature $T_c$ in terms of a power series in $x_0=ε_0/k_BT_c$, where $ε_0$ denotes the zero-point energy of the trapping potential. This expression, which applies in cartesian, cylindrical and spherical power-law traps, is given analytically at infinite order. It is also given numerically for specific potential shapes as an expansion in powers of $x_0$ up to the second order. We show that, for a harmonic trap, the well known first order shift of the critical temperature $ΔT_c/T_c \propto N^{-1/3}$ is inaccurate when $N \leqslant 10^{5}$, the next order (proportional to $N^{-1/2}$) being significant. We also show that finite size effects on the condensation temperature cancel out in a cubic trapping potential, e.g. $V(\mathbi{r}) \propto r^3$. Finally, we show that in a generic power-law potential of higher order, e.g. $V(\mathbi{r}) \propto r^α$ with $α> 3$, the shift of the critical temperature becomes positive. This effect provides a large increase of $T_c$ for relatively small atom numbers. For instance, an increase of about +40% is expected with $10^4$ atoms in a $V(\mathbi{r}) \propto r^{12}$ trapping potential.

Laser control of complete vibrational transfer in Na$_2$ using resonance coalescence

With a specific choice of laser parameters resulting into a so-called exceptional point in the wavelength-intensity plane, it is possible to produce the coalescence of two Floquet resonances describing the photodissociation of the molecule Na$_2$, which is one of the candidates for molecular cooling. Appropriately tuning laser parameters, following a contour around the exceptional point, the resonances exchange their labels. This represents a laser control of the vibrational transfer from one field-free state to another, through an adiabatic transport involving these resonances. The proportion of undissociated molecules at the end of the pulse is checked through Floquet adiabatic theory. A vibrational cooling scenario can be proposed based on a complete vibrational transfer which is predicted, with only 20 percent of molecules undergoing dissociation.

Bose-Einstein condensation in dark power-law laser traps

We investigate theoretically an original route to achieve Bose-Einstein condensation using dark power-law laser traps. We propose to create such traps with two crossing blue-detuned Laguerre-Gaussian optical beams. Controlling their azimuthal order $\ell$ allows for the exploration of a multitude of power-law trapping situations in one, two and three dimensions, ranging from the usual harmonic trap to an almost square-well potential, in which a quasi-homogeneous Bose gas can be formed. The usual cigar-shaped and disk-shaped Bose-Einstein condensates obtained in a 1D or 2D harmonic trap take the generic form of a "finger" or of a "hockey puck" in such Laguerre-Gaussian traps. In addition, for a fixed atom number, higher transition temperatures are obtained in such configurations when compared with a harmonic trap of same volume. This effect, which results in a substantial acceleration of the condensation dynamics, requires a better but still reasonable focusing of the Laguerre-Gaussian beams.

Optical Devices for Cold Atoms and Bose-Einstein Condensates

The manipulation of cold atoms with optical fields is a very promising technique for a variety of applications ranging from laser cooling and trapping to coherent atom transport and matter wave interferometry. Optical fields have also been proposed as interesting tools for quantum information processing with cold atoms. In this paper, we present a theoretical study of the dynamics of a cold 87Rb atomic cloud falling in the gravity field in the presence of two crossing dipole guides. The cloud is either deflected or split between the two branches of this guide. We explore the possibilities of optimization of this device and present preliminary results obtained in the case of zero-temperature dilute Bose-Einstein condensates.
