Abstract

Robustness and reliability are two key requirements for developing practical quantum control systems. The purpose of this paper is to design a coherent feedback controller for a class of linear quantum systems suffering from Markovian jumping faults so that the closed-loop quantum system has both fault tolerance and H-infinity disturbance attenuation performance. This paper first extends the physical realization conditions from the time-invariant case to the time-varying case for linear stochastic quantum systems. By relating the fault tolerant H-infinity control problem to the dissipation properties and the solutions of Riccati differential equations, an H-infinity controller for the quantum system is then designed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). In particular, an algorithm is employed to introduce additional noises and to construct the corresponding input matrices to ensure the physical realizability of the quantum controller. For real applications of the developed fault-tolerant control strategy, we present a linear quantum system example from quantum optics, where the amplitude of the pumping field randomly jumps among different values. It is demonstrated that a quantum H-infinity controller can be designed and implemented using some basic optical components to achieve the desired control goal.

Robustness and reliability are two key requirements for developing practical quantum control systems. The purpose of this article is to design a coherent feedback controller for a class of linear quantum systems suffering from Markovian jumping faults so that the closed-loop quantum system has both fault tolerance and$H^\infty$disturbance attenuation performance. This article first extends the physical realization conditions from the time-invariant case to the time-varying case for linear stochastic quantum systems. By relating the fault-tolerant$H^\infty$control problem to the dissipation properties and the solutions of Riccati differential equations, an$H^\infty$controller for the quantum system is then designed by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities. In particular, an algorithm is employed to introduce additional quantum inputs and to construct the corresponding input matrices to ensure the physical realizability of the quantum controller. Also, we propose a real application of the developed fault-tolerant control strategy to quantum optical systems. A linear quantum system example from quantum optics, where the amplitude of the pumping field randomly jumps among different values due to the fault processes, can be modeled as a linear Markovian jumping system. It is demonstrated that a quantum$H^\infty$controller can be designed and implemented using some basic optical components to achieve the desired control goal for this class of systems.

Coherent feedback $H^\infty$ control of quantum linear systems

Guofeng Zhang, Ian R. Petersen

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the coherent feedback $H^\infty$ control problem for linear quantum systems. A key contribution is a simplified design methodology that guarantees closed-loop stability and a prescribed level of disturbance attenuation. It is shown that for general linear quantum systems, a physically realizable quantum controller can be obtained by solving at most four Lyapunov equations. In the passive case, a necessary and sufficient condition is provided in terms of two uncoupled pairs of Lyapunov equations. These results represent a significant simplification over the standard approach, which requires solving two coupled algebraic Riccati equations. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated through two typical quantum optical devices: an empty optical cavity and a degenerate parametric amplifier. These results provide a computationally efficient procedure for the robust and optimal control of quantum optical and optomechanical systems.

Coherent H∞ control for Markovian jump linear quantum systems

Yanan Liu, Daoyi Dong, Ian R. Petersen +3 more

The purpose of this paper is to design a coherent feedback controller for a Markovian jump linear quantum system suffering from a fault signal. The control objective is to bound the effect of the disturbance input on the output for the time-varying quantum system. We prove the relation between the H∞ control problem, the dissipation properties, and the solutions of Riccati differential equations, by which the H∞ controller of the Markovian jump linear quantum system is given by the solutions of Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs).

Coherent Robust H-Infinity Control of Uncertain Linear Quantum Stochastic Systems

Chengdi Xiang, Ian R. Petersen, Daoyi Dong

This paper considers a class of uncertain linear quantum systems subject to uncertain perturbations in the system Hamiltonian. We present a method to design a coherent robust H-infinity controller so that the closed loop system is robustly stable and achieves a prescribed level of disturbance attenuation with all the admissible uncertainties. An illustrative example shows that for the given system, the method presented in this paper has improved performance over the existing quantum H-infinity control results without considering uncertainty.

Strict Bounded Real Decentralized Coherent Quantum Robust H-Infinity Control

Hendra Gunawan Harno, Ian R. Petersen

Abstract: We present a systematic method to synthesize a decentralized coherent quantum robust H controller for a class of large-scale linear complex quantum stochastic systems with norm-bounded structured uncertainties. The H control objective is to obtain a closed loop uncertain quantum system, which is strict bounded real with a specified disturbance attenuation level. The solution to this quantum control problem involves stabilizing solutions to parameterized complex Riccati equations.

Robust H∞ control for a class of linear quantum systems with annihilation operators

Xiujuan Lu, Sen Kuang

This paper considers the coherent robust H∞control problem for a class of linear quantum stochastic systems, whose models can be described by the quantum stochastic differential equations in terms of annihilation operators only, where the unknown disturbances from environment and the model uncertainties in the Hamiltonian and coupling operators exist in the system dynamics. We provide a framework to deal with this class of systems, where the robust H∞control problem of the original system is first transformed into that of a scaled system via the quantum bounded real lemma, and then an H∞controller is designed to attenuate the influence of the disturbances on the performance output. In the design of the H∞controller, a pair of algebra Riccati equations are used to obtain a numerical solution of system matrices in the controller. Finally, the simulation experiments on a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator system coupled to three quantum fields verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
