Abstract
Quantum systems with dynamical symmetries have conserved quantities that are preserved under coherent control. Therefore, such systems cannot be completely controlled by means of only coherent control. In particular, for such systems, the maximum transition probability between some pairs of states over all coherent controls can be less than one. However, incoherent control can break this dynamical symmetry and increase the maximum attainable transition probability. The simplest example of such a situation occurs in a three-level quantum system with dynamical symmetry, for which the maximum probability of transition between the ground and intermediate states using only coherent control is 1/2, whereas it is about 0.687 using coherent control assisted by incoherent control implemented through the non-selective measurement of the ground state, as was previously analytically computed. In this work, we study and completely characterize all critical points of the kinematic quantum control landscape for this measurement-assisted transition probability, which is considered as a function of the kinematic control parameters (Euler angles). The measurement-driven control used in this work is different from both quantum feedback and Zeno-type control. We show that all critical points are global maxima, global minima, saddle points or second-order traps. For comparison, we study the transition probability between the ground and highest excited states, as well as the case when both these transition probabilities are assisted by incoherent control implemented through the measurement of the intermediate state.
