Extended LMI approach to coherent quantum LQG control design

Shi Wang, M. R. James

Abstract

A coherent quantum controller is itself a quantum system that is required to be physically realizable. Thus, additional non-linear and linear constraints must be imposed on the coefficients of a physically realizable quantum controller, which differs the quantum Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) design from the standard LQG problem. The purpose of this paper is to propose one numerical procedure based on extended linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach and new physical realizability conditions proposed in [14] to design a coherent quantum controller. The extended synthesis linear matrix inequalities are, in addition to new analysis tools, less conservative in comparison to the conventional counterparts since the optimization variables related to the system parameters in extended LMIs are independent of the symmetric Lyapunov matrix. These features may be useful in the optimal design of quantum optical networks. For comparison, we apply our numerical procedure to the same example given in [9].

Mixed LQG and $H_\infty$ Coherent Feedback Control for Linear Quantum Systems

Cui, Lei, Zhiyuan Dong, Guofeng Zhang +1 more

The purpose of this paper is to study the mixed linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) and $H_\infty$ optimal control problem for linear quantum stochastic systems, where the controller itself is also a quantum system, often referred to as "coherent feedback controller". A lower bound of the LQG control is proved. Then two different methods, rank constrained linear matrix inequality (LMI) method and genetic algorithm are proposed for controller design. A passive system (cavity) and a non-passive one (degenerate parametric amplifier, DPA) demonstrate the effectiveness of these two proposed algorithms.

LQG/H∞ control of linear quantum stochastic systems

Chuanxin Bian, Guofeng Zhang

The purpose of this paper is to investigate an efficient coherent controller design scheme for the general mixed LQG/H∞control problem of the linear quantum stochastic systems. To solve the specific difficulty of the physical realizability constraints, the problem is reformulated as a rank constraint LMI problem, and numerical solution can be attained by using Matlab and softwares therein.

Mixed quantum-classical linear systems synthesis and quantum feedback control designs

Shi Wang

This thesis makes some theoretical contributions towards mixed quantum feedback network synthesis, quantum optical realization of classical linear stochastic systems and quantum feedback control designs. A mixed quantum-classical feedback network is an interconnected system consisting of a quantum system and a classical system connected by interfaces that convert quantum signals to classical signal (using homodyne detectors), and vice versa (using electro-optic modulators). In the area of mixed quantum-classical feedback networks, we present a network synthesis theory, which provides a natural framework for analysis and design for mixed linear systems. Physical realizability conditions are derived for linear stochastic differential equations to ensure that mixed systems can correspond to physical systems. The mixed network synthesis theory developed based on physical realizability conditions shows that how a classical of mixed quantum-classical systems described by linear stochastic differential equations can be built as a interconnection of linear quantum systems and linear classical systems using quantum optical devices as well as electrical and electric devices. However, an important practical problem for the implementation of mixed quantum-classical systems is the relatively slow speed of classical parts implemented with standard electrical and electronic devices, since a mixed system will not work correctly unless the electronic processing of classical devices is fast enough. Therefore, another interesting work is to show how classical linear stochastic systems build using electrical and electric devices can be physically implemented using quantum optical components. A complete procedure is proposed for a stable quantum linear stochastic system realizing a given stable classical linear stochastic system. The thesis explains how it may be possible to realize certain measurement feedback loops fully at the quantum level. In the area of quantum feedback control design, two numerical procedures based on extended linear matrix inequality (LMI) approach are proposed to design a coherent quantum controller in this thesis. The extended synthesis linear matrix inequalities are, in addition to new analysis tools, less conservative in comparison to the conventional counterparts since the optimization variables related to the system parameters in extended LMIs are independent of the symmetric Lyapunov matrix. These features may be useful in the optimal design of quantum optical networks. Time delays are frequently encountered in linear quantum feedback control systems such as long transmission lines between quantum plants and linear controllers, which may have an effect on the performance of closed-loop plant controller systems. Therefore, this thesis investigates the problem of linear quantum measurement-based feedback control systems subject to feedback-loop time delay described by linear stochastic differential equations. Several numerical procedures are proposed to design classical controllers that make quantum measurement-based feedback control systems with time delay stable and also guarantee that their desired control performance specifications are satisfied.

Linear Quadratic Gaussian Control of Quantum Linear Stochastic Systems with Quantum Mechanical Controllers

Hendra I. Nurdin, M. R. James, Ian R. Petersen

We formulate a (sub-optimal) quantum Linear Quadratic Gaussian (LQG) problem for quantum linear stochastic systems where the controller itself may also be a quantum system and the plant output signal can be fully quantum. Our problem may be viewed as a polynomial matrix programming problem and we show that by utilizing a non-linear change of variables, it can be systematically converted to a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) rank constrained problem. As an initial demonstration of the feasibility of this approach, we provide a fully quantum controller design example in which a numerical solution to the problem was successfully obtained.

Optimal Quantum Realization of a Classical Linear System

Rebbecca TY Thien, Shanon L. Vuglar, Ian R. Petersen

Additional noise in a quantum system can be detrimental to the performance of a quantum coherent feedback control system. This paper proposes a Linear Matrix Inequality (LMI) approach to construct an optimal quantum realization of a given Linear Time Invariant (LTI) system. The quantum realization problem is useful in designing coherent quantum feedback controllers. An optimal method is proposed for solving this problem in terms of a finite horizon quadratic performance index, which is related to the amount of quantum noise appearing at the system’s output. This cost function provides a measure of how much the additional quantum noise in the coherent controller will alter the feedback control system.
