Abstract

Brańczyk et. al pointed out that the quantum control scheme is superior to the classical control scheme for a simple quantum system using simulation [1]. Here we strictly prove the result from mathematical view.

Comparisons between open-loop and feedback controls based on a coherent quantum control model

Hao Pan, Bo Qi, Lei Guo

Feedback plays an essential role in classical control theory, which has been investigated in depth. However, in quantum control theory, the study of feedback is still in its infancy. The paper continues to explore the fundamental characteristics of quantum feedback control for a typical coherent model based on the results of [3] by highlighting the significant differences between quantum feedback control and classical feedback control due to quantum measurement. The paper compares the control performance of quantum feedback control and quantum open-loop control in the cases with and without environment-induced decoherence. It concludes that in some sense, the quantum feedback control is still superior to the quantum open-loop control despite the complicated tradeoff in the feedback case, and further points out that how the quantum measurement-induced-collapse can play a positive role in the quantum feedback control.

Comparisons between quantum open-loop control and closed-loop control

Qi Bo, Lei Guo

The paper first briefly introduces the current research on quantum control. Then the quantum open-loop control (no measurement introduced) and the closed-loop control (measurement introduced) was compared through a standard model of coherent control. When using quantum closed-loop control, we need measurement which inevitably brings in the reduction noise. This is different from the classical control systems. On the other hand, measurement-based feedback can reduce the influence of the system uncertainties. Thus, there is a tradeoff between the noise influence brought in by the measurement and the information got by the measurement. The paper demonstrate that in the case without decoherence, the quantum closed-loop control is superior to the open-loop control in dealing with the uncertainty in some sense. In the case with decoherence, we discuss the controllability of the quantum control through two performance indices.

Time-Domain Sensitivity of the Tracking Error

Sean P. O’Neil, S. G. Schirmer, Frank C. Langbein +2 more

A strictly time-domain. formulation of the log-sensitivity of the error signal to structured plant uncertainty is presented and analyzed through simple but representative classical and quantum systems. Results demonstrate that across a wide range of physical systems, maximization of performance (minimization of the error signal) asymptotically or at a specific time comes at the cost of increased log-sensitivity, implying a time-domain constraint analogous to the frequency-domain identity$\mathbf {S(s) + T(s) = I}$. While of limited value in classical problems based on asymptotic stabilization or tracking, such a time-domain formulation is valuable in assessing the reduced robustness cost concomitant with high-fidelity quantum control schemes predicated on time-based performance measures.

Control problems in a quantum mechanics

Roger W. Brockett

The mathematical structure basic to a number of problems in quantum control is presented and contrasted with more conventional control problems, both in formulation and solution technique. After a lengthy background some areas that seem promising for further development are discussed.

Feedback control of linear quantum systems

Andrew C. Doherty, Howard M. Wiseman

We compare quantum and classical feedback control of linear systems, investigating the effect of back-action noise on control performance. One consequence is the existence of an optimal measurement for fixed system-environment coupling.
