For realistic examples of Markovian and non-Markovian open quantum systems we show how optimal controls obtained numerically [1] typically cut errors by one order of magnitude [2,3,4]. The examples include spin- and pseudo-spin systems, e.g., capacitively coupled charge qubits. The setting can easily be generalised to arbitrary $N$-level systems.
We sketch the relation between time-optimal and relaxation-optimised controls in the light of new pictures emerging in terms of Lie semigroups [5].
Implications in view of quantum CISC-compilation [6] for large systems (with say 100 qubits) are given including an outlook on how to assemble those CISC modules in a decoherence-protected way.
