The first part of the paper is devoted to summarizing the Kessler theory of the elastic scattering of spin-polarized electron beams. After a general description of the dependence on the polar and azimuthal angles of the spin-polarization after scattering, the effects on the spin-polarization of multiple elastic collisions occurring in the same scattering plane and with identical scattering angles are also treated. In particular, we show that, in this case, an initially unpolarized beam becomes fully polarized in the direction normal to the scattering plane after a number of collisions. The number of collisions necessary to reach full (transverse) polarization is a function of the common scattering angle.

The computational resource required for the optimization is an essential consideration in order to scale toward quantum control of larger registers. Here, we propose and demonstrate the use of a machine learning method, specifically the recommender system (RS), to deal with the challenge of enhancing computational efficiency. Given a sparse database of a set of products and their customer ratings, RS is used to efficiently predict unknown ratings. In the quantum control problem, each iteration of a numerical optimization algorithm typically involves evaluating a large number of parameters, such as gradients or fidelities, which can be tabulated as a rating matrix. We establish that RS can rapidly and accurately predict elements of such a sparse rating matrix. Using this approach, we expedite a gradient ascent based quantum control optimization, namely GRAPE, and demonstrate the faster construction of two-qubit CNOT gate in registers with up to 8 qubits. We also describe and implement the enhancement of the computational speed of a hybrid algorithm involving simulated annealing as well as gradient ascent. Moreover, the faster construction of three-qubit Toffoli gates further confirmed the applicability of RS in larger registers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":36067,"journal":{"name":"Physics Open","volume":"14 ","pages":"Article 100127"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49760708","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
