Description
Guillermo Ezequiel Perna, Federico Centrone, and Esteban Calzetta derive a trade off for fast quantum control driven by a quantum clock in 2026. Shortcuts can rush a system to a target state without slow drift. Here the schedule's time comes from a quantum clock, not a fixed outside dial. Tracing out the clock leaves a mixed set of paths.
In a noise heavy regime, the team computes energy miss and its spread. They also track aim fidelity and purity loss. Joining those measures yields an uncertainty style trade off. Precision is tied to a floor of purity loss. That floor is set by clock sharpness and protocol sensitivity. The bound is derived from first principles.
