Complete Optimal Convex Approximations of Qubit States under $B_2$ Distance

We consider the optimal approximation of arbitrary qubit states with respect to an available states consisting the eigenstates of two of three Pauli matrices, the $B_2$-distance of an arbitrary target state. Both the analytical formulae of the $B_2$-distance and the corresponding complete optimal decompositions are obtained. The tradeoff relations for both the sum and the squared sum of the $B_2$-distances have been analytically and numerically investigated.

Time optimal quantum control of two-qubit systems

We study the optimal quantum control of heteronuclear two-qubit systems described by a Hamiltonian containing both nonlocal internal drift and local control terms. We derive an explicit formula to compute the minimum time required to steer the system from an initial state to a specified final state. As applications the minimal time to implement Controlled-NOT gate, SWAP gate and Controlled-U gate is calculated in detail. The experimental realizations of these quantum gates are explicitly presented.
