Publication Source Code - High-Order Hermite Optimization: Fast and Exact Gradient Computation in Open-Loop Quantum Optimal Control using a Discrete Adjoint Approach

Publication Source Code

This release contains the code used in the publication High-Order Hermite Optimization: Fast and Exact Gradient Computation in Open-Loop Quantum Optimal Control using a Discrete Adjoint Approach, which was submitted to Journal of Computational Physics. A preprint is available on ArXiV.

This includes both the source code for the package QuantumGateDesign.jl, as well as the scripts for running and plotting the simulations and optimizations.

Before running any of the examples, the makefile in src/Fortran should be ran to compile the Fortran code used to evaluate B-Splines.

If you are interested in using QuantumGateDesign.jl for your own work, we recommend using a later release than this one. In addition to the scripts and source code used in the publication, this release contains several directories of unfinished work. Also, there are many unneeded package dependencies which may drastically increase the time it takes to download and precompile the package.
