Manipulating quantum information on the controllable systems or subspaces

In this paper, we explore how to constructively manipulate qubits by rotating Bloch spheres. It is revealed that three-rotation and one-rotation Hamiltonian controls can be constructed to steer qubits when two tunable Hamiltonian controls are available. It is demonstrated in this research that local-wave function controls such as Bang-Bang, triangle-function and quadratic function controls can be utilized to manipulate quantum states on the Bloch sphere. A new kind of time-energy performance index is proposed to trade-off time and energy resource cost, in which control magnitudes are optimized in terms of this kind of performance. It is further exemplified that this idea can be generalized to manipulate encoded qubits on the controllable subspace.
