  • This paper presents a framework for solving the pure-state preparation problem using numerical optimal control. As an example, we consider the case where a number of qubits are dispersively coupled to a readout cavity. We model open system quantum dynamics using the Markovian Lindblad master equation, driven by external control pulses. The main result of this paper develops a basis of density matrices (a parameterization) where each basis element is a density matrix itself. Utilizing a specific objective function, we show how an ensemble of the basis elements can be used as a single initial state throughout the optimization process - independent of the system dimension. We apply the general framework to the specific application of ground-state reset of one and two qubits coupled to a readout cavity.
