Time-optimal control of large quantum systems is computed efficiently by applying boundary conditions to a brachistochrone–Lax framework.

We present an approach to compute time-optimal control of a quantum system which combines quantum brachistochrone and Lax pair techniques and enables efficient investigation of large-scale quantum systems. We illustrate our method by finding the fastest way to transfer a single-particle excitation in a nearest-neighbor-coupled infinitely large qubit lattice with the fixed sum of squares of the couplings.
