Optimal Spin Polarization Control for the Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free System Using Adaptive Dynamic Programming

This work is the first to solve the 3-D spin polarization control (3DSPC) problem of atomic ensembles, which controls the spin polarization to achieve arbitrary states with the cooperation of multiphysics fields. First, a novel adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) structure is proposed based on the developed multicritic multiaction neural network (MCMANN) structure with nonquadratic performance functions, as a way to solve the multiplayer nonzero-sum game (MP-NZSG) problem in 3DSPC under the constraints of asymmetric saturation inputs. Then, we utilize the MCMANNs to implement the multicritic multiaction ADP (MCMA-ADP) algorithm, whose convergence is proven by the compression mapping principle. Finally, the MCMA-ADP is deployed in the spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) system to provide a set of control laws in 3DSPC that fully exploits the multiphysics fields to achieve arbitrary spin polarization states. Numerical simulations support the theoretical results.
