The quantum brachistochrone problem for an arbitrary spin in a magnetic field

الأصل · EN

We consider quantum brachistochrone evolution for a spin-s system on rotational manifolds. Such manifolds are determined by the rotation of the eigenstates of the operator of projection of spin-s on some direction. The Fubini-Study metrics of these manifolds are those of spheres with radii dependent on the value of the spin and on the value of the spin projection. The conditions for optimal evolution of the spin-s system on rotational manifolds are obtained.
