Meet USC: Admission Presentation, Campus Tour, & Engineering Talk
Mon, Aug 26, 2013
Viterbi School of Engineering Undergraduate Admission
Receptions & Special Events
This half day program is designed for prospective freshmen and family members. Meet USC includes an information session on the University and the Admission process; a student led walking tour of campus and a meeting with us in the Viterbi School. Meet USC is designed to answer all of your questions about USC, the application process and financial aid. Reservations are required for Meet USC. This program occurs twice, once at 8:30 a.m. and again at 12:30 p.m. Please visit https://esdweb.esd.usc.edu/unresrsvp/MeetUSC.aspx to check availability and make an appointment. Be sure to list an Engineering major as your "intended major" on the webform!

From Pontryagin Maximum Principle to Time-Optimal Control of Quantum Gates
Mon, Aug 26, 2013 @ 02:00 PM - 03:00 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Xiaoting Wang, U Mass Boston
Talk Title: From Pontryagin Maximum Principle to Time-Optimal Control of Quantum Gates
Abstract: Pontryagin maximum principle is the most fundamental tool to discuss time-optimal control problems. For quantum systems decoupled from the environment, the time-optimal solution for gate generation can be either a smooth trajectory or a bang-bang type of trajectory, depending on the physical assumption on the Hamiltonian. I will present a uniformed picture and show that both solutions can be derived from Pontryagin maximum principle. Moreover, for the smooth case, the time-optimal solutions coincide with the geodesics on the unitary space under some metric. These interpretations in principle will help us find more efficient time-optimal control algorithms than standard brute-force optimization routine.
