Implementation of a direct coupling coherent quantum observer including observer measurements

Abstract

This paper considers the problem of constructing a direct coupling quantum observer for a quantum harmonic oscillator system. The proposed observer is shown to be able to estimate one but not both of the plant variables and produces a measureable output using homodyne detection.

A Direct Coupling Coherent Quantum Observer for a Qubit, including Observer Measurements

Ian R. Petersen, Elanor H. Huntington

This paper proposes a direct coupling coherent quantum observer for a quantum plant which consists of a two level quantum system. The quantum observer, which is a quantum harmonic oscillator, includes homodyne detection measurements. It is shown that the observer can be designed so that it does not affect the quantum variable of interest in the quantum plant and that measured output converges in a given sense to the plant variable of interest. Also, the plant variable of interest-observer system can be described by a set of linear quantum stochastic differential equations. A minimum variance unbiased estimator form of the Kalman filter is derived for linear quantum systems and applied to the direct coupled coherent quantum observer.

A reduced order direct coupling coherent quantum observer for a complex quantum plant

Ian R. Petersen, Elanor H. Huntington

This paper extends previous results on constructing a direct coupling quantum observer for a quantum harmonic oscillator system. In this case, we consider a complex linear quantum system plant consisting of a network of quantum harmonic oscillators. Conditions are given for which there exists a direct coupling observer which estimates a collection of variables in the quantum plant. It is shown that the order of the observer can be the same as the number of variables to be estimated when this number is even and thus this is a reduced order observer.

A Possible Implementation of a Direct Coupling Coherent Quantum Observer

Ian R. Petersen, Elanor H. Huntington

This paper considers the problem of implementing a previously proposed direct coupling quantum observer for a closed linear quantum system. This observer is shown to be able to estimate some but not all of the plant variables in a time averaged sense. The paper proposes a possible experimental implementation of the observer plant system using a non-degenerate parametric amplifier.

Time averaged consensus in a direct coupled coherent quantum observer network for a single qubit finite level quantum system

Ian R. Petersen

This paper considers the problem of constructing a direct coupled quantum observer network for a single qubit quantum system. The proposed observer consists of a network of quantum harmonic oscillators and it is shown that the observer network output converges to a consensus in a time averaged sense in which each component of the observer estimates a specified output of the quantum plant.
