Trajectory Tracking for Quantum Systems with Impulsive Control Fields

Quantum Lyapunov control is a feedback control methodology to determine control fields applied to control quantum systems. In this paper, with the help of the invariant principle of impulsive systems, we investigate the trajectory tracking for quantum systems with impulsive control fields by two Lyapunov functions based on the distance of quantum states and the average value of Hermitian operator which can be regarded as an observable of a quantum system, propose new control fields to drive the quantum systems in the form of sufficient conditions. One numerical simulation is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control method.
