This paper considers right-invariant and controllable driftless quantum systems with state X(t) evolving on the unitary group U(n) and m inputs u = (u(1), horizontal ellipsis , u(m)). The T-sampling stabilisation problem is introduced and solved: given any initial condition X-0 and any goal state , find a control law u = u(X, t) such that for the closed-loop system. The purpose is to generate arbitrary quantum gates corresponding to . This is achieved by the tracking of T-periodic reference trajectories of the quantum system that pass by using the framework of Coron's return method. The T-periodic reference trajectories are generated by applying controls that are a sum of a finite number M of harmonics of sin (2 pi t/T), whose amplitudes are parameterised by a vector a. The main result establishes that, for M big enough, X(jT) exponentially converges towards for almost all fixed a, with explicit and completely constructive control laws. This paper also establishes a stochastic version of this deterministic control law. The key idea is to randomly choose a different parameter vector of control amplitudes a = a(j) at each t = jT, and keeping it fixed for t is an element of [jT, (j + 1)T). It is shown in the paper that X(jT) exponentially converges towards almost surely. Simulation results have indicated that the convergence speed of X(jT) may be significantly improved with such stochastic technique. This is illustrated in the generation of the C-NOT quantum logic gate on U(4).
