Real-time state estimation and feedback control of an oscillating qubit via self-fulfilling prophecy (SFP)

Pieter du Toit, S. C. Burd, Thomas Konrad +1 more

Abstract We present protocols for feedback control and stabilization of a single qubit undergoing Rabi oscillations. Using a hybrid quantum-classical Bayesian estimation technique we simulate monitoring of the dynamical parameter (Rabi frequency) of the governing Hamiltonian in real-time. We numerically demonstrate feedback control of the system parameter using a classical proportional-integral feedback control scheme and show that by implementing a unitary reversal of the back-action of the weak measurement the loop response time is dramatically reduced. This reversal is chosen by assuming the system is already executing the targeted dynamics, an approach called self-fulfilling prophecy . In addition, self-fulfilling prophecy reduces measurement induced noise, leading to stabilized dynamics.

Deterministic Equations for Feedback Control of Open Quantum Systems II: Properties of the memory function

Alberto J. B. Rosal, Patrick P. Potts, Gabriel T. Landi

Feedback uses past detection outcomes to dynamically modify a quantum system and is central to quantum control. These outcomes can be stored in a memory, defined as a stochastic function of past measurements. In this work, we investigate the main properties of a general memory function subject to arbitrary feedback dynamics. We show that the memory can be treated as a classical system coupled to the monitored quantum system, and that their joint evolution is described by a hybrid bipartite state. This framework allows us to introduce information-theoretic measures that quantify the correlations between the system and the memory. Furthermore, we develop a general framework to characterize the statistics of the memory -- such as moments, cumulants, and correlation functions -- which can be applied both to general feedback-control protocols and to monitored systems without feedback. As an application, we analyze feedback schemes based on detection events in a two-level system coupled to a thermal bath, focusing on protocols that stabilize either the excited-state population or Rabi oscillations against thermal dissipation.

Feedback control of Rabi oscillations in circuit QED

Wei Cui, Franco Nori

We consider the feedback stabilization of Rabi oscillations in a superconducting qubit which is coupled to a microwave readout cavity. The signal is readout by homodyne detection of the in-phase quadrature amplitude of the weak-measurement output. By multiplying the time-delayed Rabi reference, one can extract the signal, with maximum signal-to-noise ratio, from the noise current. We further track and stabilize the Rabi oscillations by using Lyapunov feedback control to properly adjust the input Rabi drives. Theoretical and simulation results illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control law.
