Time averaged consensus in a direct coupled distributed coherent quantum observer
Ian R. Petersen
Abstract
This paper considers the problem of constructing a distributed direct coupling quantum observer for a closed linear quantum system. The proposed distributed observer consists of a network of quantum harmonic oscillators and it is shown that the distributed observer converges to a consensus in a time averaged sense in which each component of the observer estimates the specified output of the quantum plant.
