<div class="section" id="purpose">
<h2>Purpose<a class="headerlink" href="#purpose" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>Optimal control is a cornerstone of quantum technology: relying not
just on a passive understanding of quantum mechanics, but on the <em>active</em>
utilization of the quantum properties of matter. Quantum optimal control asks
how to manipulate the dynamics of a quantum system in some desired
way. This is essential for the realization of quantum computers and
related technologies such as quantum sensing.</p>
<p>Krotov’s method and GRAPE are the two leading gradient-based optimization
algorithms used in numerical quantum optimal control. Krotov’s method
distinguishes itself by guaranteeing monotonic convergence for near-continuous
control fields. This makes is particularly useful for exploring the limits of
controllability in a physical system.
While GRAPE is found in various software packages, there has not been an open
source implementation of Krotov’s method to date. Our package provides that
missing implementation.</p>
<p>The Krotov package targets both students wishing to enter the field
of quantum control and researchers in the field. It was designed towards
the following goals:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li><p>Leverage the <a class="reference external" href="http://qutip.org">QuTiP</a> library as a platform for numerically describing
quantum systems.</p></li>
<li><p>Provide a collection of examples inspired by recent publications in
the <a class="reference external" href="https://jupyter.org">Jupyter notebook</a> format, allowing for interactive exploration of the
method.</p></li>
<li><p>Define a general interface for formulating <em>any</em> quantum control problem,
which may extend to other optimization methods in the future.</p></li>
<li><p>Serve as a reference implementation of Krotov’s method, and as a foundation
against which to test other implementations.</p></li>
<li><p>Enable the more widespread use of Krotov’s method, for example in the design
of experiments.</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section" id="prerequisites">
<h2>Prerequisites<a class="headerlink" href="#prerequisites" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The Krotov package is available for Python versions >= 3.5. Its main dependency is <a class="reference external" href="http://qutip.org">QuTiP</a>
(apart from the <a class="reference external" href="https://www.scipy.org">core packages of the Python scientific ecosystem</a>).
Thus, you should consider <a class="reference external" href="http://qutip.org/docs/latest/installation.html">QuTiP’s installation instructions</a>.</p>
<p>In any case, using some sort of <a class="reference external" href="https://docs.python.org/3/glossary.html#term-virtual-environment">virtual environment</a> is strongly encouraged.
Most packages in the Python scientific ecosystem are now available as
<a class="reference external" href="https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/#source-distributions-vs-wheels">wheels</a>, making installation via <a class="reference external" href="https://pip.pypa.io">pip</a> easy. However, <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/qutip/qutip/issues/933">QuTiP currently does
not provide wheels</a>. Thus, on systems that do not have the necessary compilers
installed (Windows, macOS), the <a class="reference external" href="https://conda.io/docs/index.html">conda</a> package manager provides a good solution.</p>
<p>Assuming <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">conda</span></code> is installed (e.g. through <a class="reference external" href="https://conda.io/miniconda.html">Miniconda</a>), the following
commands set up a virtual (conda) environment into which the Krotov package can
then be installed:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$</span> conda create -n qucontrolenv <span class="nv">python</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="m">3</span>.7
<span class="gp">$</span> conda activate qucontrolenv
<span class="gp">$</span> conda config --append channels conda-forge
<span class="gp">$</span> conda install qutip
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="installation">
<h2>Installation<a class="headerlink" href="#installation" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To install the latest released version of <a class="reference internal" href="API/krotov.html#module-krotov" title="krotov"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">krotov</span></code></a> into your current (conda)
environment, run this command in your terminal:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$</span> python -m pip install krotov
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This is the preferred method to install the <a class="reference internal" href="API/krotov.html#module-krotov" title="krotov"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">krotov</span></code></a> package, as it will always install the most recent stable release.</p>
<p>You may also do</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$</span> python -m pip install krotov<span class="o">[</span>dev,extras<span class="o">]</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>to install additional development dependencies, including packages required to run the example notebooks.</p>
<p>If you don’t have <a class="reference external" href="https://pip.pypa.io">pip</a> installed, the <a class="reference external" href="http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/starting/installation/">Python installation guide</a>, respectively the <a class="reference external" href="https://packaging.python.org/tutorials/installing-packages/">Python Packaging User Guide</a> can guide
you through the process.</p>
<p>To install the latest development version of <a class="reference internal" href="API/krotov.html#module-krotov" title="krotov"><code class="xref py py-mod docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">krotov</span></code></a> from <a class="reference external" href="https://github.com/qucontrol/krotov">Github</a>:</p>
<div class="highlight-console notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="gp">$</span> python -m pip install git+https://github.com/qucontrol/krotov.git@master#egg<span class="o">=</span>krotov
</pre></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="section" id="usage">
<h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>To use Krotov’s method for quantum optimal control in a Python script or
<a class="reference external" href="https://jupyter.org">Jupyter notebook</a>, start with:</p>
<div class="highlight-default notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">krotov</span>
<span class="kn">import</span> <span class="nn">qutip</span>

</div>
<p>Then,</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li><p>define the necessary quantum operators and states using <a class="reference external" href="http://qutip.org">QuTiP</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>create a list of objectives, as instances of <a class="reference internal" href="API/krotov.objectives.html#krotov.objectives.Objective" title="krotov.objectives.Objective"><code class="xref py py-class docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">krotov.Objective</span></code></a>.</p></li>
