Abstract

This paper aims to provide conditions under which a quantum stochastic differential equation can serve as a model for interconnection of a bilinear system evolving on an operator group SU(2) and a linear quantum system representing a quantum harmonic oscillator. To answer this question we derive algebraic conditions for the preservation of canonical commutation relations (CCRs) of quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDE) having a subset of system variables satisfying the harmonic oscillator CCRs, and the remaining variables obeying the CCRs of SU(2). Then, it is shown that from the physical realizability point of view such QSDEs correspond to bilinear-linear quantum cascades.

Preservation of commutation relations and physical realizability of open two-level quantum systems

Luis A. Duffaut Espinosa, Zibo Miao, Ian R. Petersen +2 more

Coherent feedback control considers purely quantum controllers in order to overcome disadvantages such as the acquisition of suitable quantum information, quantum error correction, etc. These approaches lack a systematic characterization of quantum realizability. Recently, a condition characterizing when a system described as a linear stochastic differential equation is quantum was developed. Such condition was named physical realizability, and it was developed for linear quantum systems satisfying the quantum harmonic oscillator canonical commutation relations. In this context, open two-level quantum systems escape the realm of the current known condition. When compared to linear quantum system, the challenges in obtaining such condition for such systems radicate in that the evolution equation is now a bilinear quantum stochastic differential equation and that the commutation relations for such systems are dependent on the system variables. The goal of this paper is to provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the preservation of the Pauli commutation relations, as well as to make explicit the relationship between this condition and physical realizability.

A Modified Frequency Domain Condition for the Physical Realizability of Linear Quantum Stochastic Systems

Arash Kh. Sichani, Ian R. Petersen

This paper is concerned with a modified version of the frequency domain physical realizability (PR) condition for linear quantum systems. We consider open quantum systems whose dynamic variables satisfy the canonical commutation relations of an open quantum harmonic oscillator and are governed by linear quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs). In order to correspond to physical quantum systems, these QSDEs must satisfy PR conditions. We provide a relatively simple proof that the PR condition is equivalent to the frequency domain (J,J)-unitarity of the input-output transfer function and orthogonality of the feedthrough matrix of the system without the technical spectral assumptions required in previous work. We also show that the poles and transmission zeros associated with the transfer function of PR linear quantum systems are the mirror reflections of each other about the imaginary axis. An example is provided to illustrate the results.

On the physical realizability of general linear Quantum Stochastic Differential Equations with complex coefficients

A. J. Shaiju, Ian R. Petersen

This paper is concerned with the physical realizability of linear quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs). In a recent paper, James, Nurdin and Petersen gave necessary and sufficient conditions for the physical realizability of linear QSDEs with real coefficients. These conditions were algebraic conditions on the system state space matrices. In this paper, we first study general linear QSDEs with complex coefficients and explain how to relate them via unitary transformations to the class of linear QSDEs with real coefficients considered by James, Nurdin Petersen. We use this relation between linear QSDEs with real and complex coefficients to derive necessary and sufficient algebraic conditions for the physical realizability of the general complex linear QSDEs being considered. Then we prove the equivalence between these algebraic conditions and a condition that an associated linear system is (J, J')-unitary.

Physical Realizability and Mean Square Performance of Translation Invariant Networks of Interacting Linear Quantum Stochastic Systems

Igor G. Vladimirov, Ian R. Petersen

This paper is concerned with translation invariant networks of linear quantum stochastic systems with nearest neighbour interaction mediated by boson fields. The systems are associated with sites of a one-dimensional chain or a multidimensional lattice and are governed by coupled linear quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs). Such interconnections of open quantum systems are relevant, for example, to the phonon theory of crystalline solids, atom trapping in optical lattices and quantum metamaterials. In order to represent a large-scale open quantum harmonic oscillator, the coefficients of the coupled QSDEs must satisfy certain physical realizability conditions. These are established in the form of matrix algebraic equations for the parameters of an individual building block of the network and its interaction with the neighbours and external fields. We also discuss the computation of mean square performance functionals with block Toeplitz weighting matrices for such systems in the thermodynamic limit per site for unboundedly increasing fragments of the lattice.

On the preservation of commutation and anticommutation relations of n-level quantum systems

Luis A. Duffaut Espinosa, Zibo Miao, Ian R. Petersen +2 more

The goal of this paper is to provide conditions under which a quantum stochastic differential equation (QSDE) preserves the commutation and anticommutation relations of the SU(n) algebra, and thus describes the evolution of an open n-level quantum system. One of the challenges in the approach lies in the handling of the so-called anomaly coefficients of SU(n). Then, it is shown that the physical realizability conditions recently developed by the authors for open n-level quantum systems also imply preservation of commutation and anticommutation relations.

Covariance dynamics and entanglement in translation invariant linear quantum stochastic networks

Arash Kh. Sichani, Igor G. Vladimirov, Ian R. Petersen

This paper is concerned with a translation invariant network of identical quantum stochastic systems subjected to external quantum noise. Each node of the network is directly coupled to a finite number of its neighbours. This network is modelled as an open quantum harmonic oscillator and is governed by a set of linear quantum stochastic differential equations (QSDEs). The dynamic variables of the network satisfy the canonical commutation relations (CCRs). Similar large-scale networks can be found, for example, in quantum metamaterials and optical lattices. Using spatial Fourier transform techniques, we obtain a sufficient condition for stability of the network with a finite interaction range, and consider a mean square performance index for the stable network in the thermodynamic limit. In the case when the network consists of one-mode oscillators, the Peres-Horodecki-Simon separability criterion is employed in order to obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for quantum entanglement of bipartite systems of nodes in the Gaussian invariant state. The results on stability and entanglement are extended to the infinite chain of the linear quantum systems by letting the number of nodes go to infinity. A numerical example is provided to illustrate the results.
