A direct coupling coherent quantum observer for an oscillatory quantum plant

Abstract

A direct coupling coherent observer is constructed for a linear quantum plant which has oscillatory solutions. It is shown that a finite time moving average of the quantum observer output can provide an estimate of the quantum plant output without disturbing this plant signal. By choosing a sufficiently small averaging time and a sufficiently large observer gain, the observer tracking error can be made arbitrarily small.

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.

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 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.
