Abstract

This paper summarizes several recent developments in the area of estimation and robust control of quantum systems and outlines several directions for future research. Quantum state tomography via linear regression estimation and adaptive quantum state estimation are introduced and a Hamiltonian identification algorithm is outlined. Two quantum robust control approaches including sliding mode control and sampling-based learning control are illustrated.

Closed‐Loop and Robust Control of Quantum Systems

Chunlin Chen, Lincheng Wang, Yuanlong Wang

For most practical quantum control systems, it is important and difficult to attain robustness and reliability due to unavoidable uncertainties in the system dynamics or models. Three kinds of typical approaches (e.g., closed-loop learning control, feedback control, and robust control) have been proved to be effective to solve these problems. This work presents a self-contained survey on the closed-loop and robust control of quantum systems, as well as a brief introduction to a selection of basic theories and methods in this research area, to provide interested readers with a general idea for further studies. In the area of closed-loop learning control of quantum systems, we survey and introduce such learning control methods as gradient-based methods, genetic algorithms (GA), and reinforcement learning (RL) methods from a unified point of view of exploring the quantum control landscapes. For the feedback control approach, the paper surveys three control strategies including Lyapunov control, measurement-based control, and coherent-feedback control. Then such topics in the field of quantum robust control as H(∞) control, sliding mode control, quantum risk-sensitive control, and quantum ensemble control are reviewed. The paper concludes with a perspective of future research directions that are likely to attract more attention.

A Brief Review of Linear Regression Estimation in Quantum Tomography

Yanran Cheng, Zhihui Lou

Quantum tomography is one of the essential tasks in quantum information technology. Much effort has been devoted to increasing the precision and efficiency of quantum tomography. In this paper, we only focus on a specific tomography method, i.e., the linear regression estimation (LRE). We give a brief review on how to employ LRE for quantum state tomography, adaptive quantum state tomography and quantum Hamiltonian identification.

Robustness analysis in static and dynamic quantum state tomography

Alan Chen, Shuixin Xiao, Hailan Ma +1 more

Quantum state tomography is a core task in quantum system identification. Real experimental conditions often deviate from nominal designs, introducing errors in both the measurement devices and the Hamiltonian governing the system's dynamics. In this paper, we investigate the robustness of quantum state tomography against such perturbations in both static and dynamic settings using linear regression estimation. We derive explicit bounds that quantify how bounded errors in the measurement devices and the Hamiltonian affect the mean squared error (MSE) upper bound in each scenario. Numerical simulations for qubit systems illustrate how these bounds scale with resources.
