Department of Physics, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan(Dated: January 15, 2007)Extending our previous work on time optimal quantum state evolution [A. Carlini, A. Hosoya, T.Koike and Y. Okudaira, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 060503 (2006)], we formulate a variational principle forfinding the time optimal realization of a target unitary operation, when the available Hamiltoniansare subject to certain constraints dictated either by experimental or by theoretical conditions. Sincethe time optimal unitary evolutions do not depend on the input quantum state this is of more directrelevance to quantum computation. We explicitly illustrate our method by considering the case ofa two-qubit system self-interacting via an anisotropic Heisenberg Hamiltonian and by deriving thetime optimal unitary evolution for three examples of target quantum gates, namely the swap ofqubits, the quantum Fourier transform and the entangler gate. We also briefly discuss the case inwhich certain unitary operations take negligible time.
