Rank-Dependent Error Bounds and Near-Optimality in Quantum Control via Hierarchical Tucker Surrogates
Abstract
We develop a certified finite-horizon quantum optimal-control framework based on fixed-rank Hierarchical Tucker (HT) surrogates. Under a uniform rank-dependent HT truncation-accuracy condition, we establish exponentially decaying trajectory, cost, and value-function errors and near-optimality of surrogate-generated controls. We further derive a logarithmic rank--performance relation, an a posteriori cost certificate from realized truncation perturbations, and guarantees for inexact surrogate optimization and control convergence under additional regularity conditions. Numerical experiments on controlled XXZ spin chains provide finite-sample evidence consistent with the truncation condition and illustrate the trade-off between HT rank, representation size, surrogate accuracy, and control performance.
