Efficient and systematic numerical methods for robust control design are crucial in quantum systems due to inevitable uncertainties or disturbances. We propose a novel approach that models uncertainties as random variables and quantifies robustness using the expectation of infidelity by reformulating it as a weighted tensor product quadrature. We employ the Smolyak algorithm to develop a parametric robust quantum control scheme, which balances the reduction of computational cost with the enhancement of estimation accuracy. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm by incorporating the Smolyak sparse grids into conventional gradient-based quantum optimal control methods such as GRAPE and GOAT. In robust control problems concerning quantum gate realization, low infidelity and strong robustness can be achieved. These results contribute to improving the reliability and security of quantum computing and communication systems in the presence of real-world imperfections.
