Feedback control of a non-Markovian single qubit system

Abstract

In this paper, we utilize a feedback strategy to stabilize a single qubit in a non-Markovian environment with a Lorentzian spectrum. The non-Markovian single qubit is represented in an augmented system model, where an ancillary system is introduced as the internal mode of the environment to generate Lorentzian noise. The density matrix of the single qubit can be estimated by using an augmented-system-based quantum stochastic master equation. Then a feedback controller can be driven by the estimates to stabilize the qubit in a target state. Simulations show the feedback strategy can provide effective control of the non-Markovian single qubit.

LQG feedback control of a class of linear non-Markovian quantum systems

Shibei Xue, M. R. James, Valery Ugrinovskii +1 more

In this paper we present a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) feedback control strategy for a class of linear non-Markovian quantum systems disturbed by Lorentzian noise. The feedback control law is designed based on the estimated dynamical variables of a whitening quantum filter for an augmented Markovian model of the non-Markovian quantum system. In this augmented Markovian model, an ancillary system plays the role of internal modes of the environment converting white noise into Lorentzian noise and a principal system obeys non-Markovian dynamics due to the direct interaction with the ancillary system. The simulation results show the LQG controller with the whitening filter obtains a better control performance than that with a Markovian filter in the problem of cooling the principal system when the ancillary system is driven by thermal noise.

Feedback tracking control of a class of non-Markovian quantum systems

Shibei Xue, Ian R. Petersen

In this paper, we propose a feedback tracking control scheme to reject Lorentzian noise in a linear non-Markovian quantum system. This non-Markovian quantum system is modelled as an augmented linear Markovian quantum system where a principal system represents the plant and an ancillary system represents the internal mode of the non-Markovian environment for generating Lorentzian noise. Based on this augmented system model, a whitening quantum filter can be constructed for continuously monitoring the dynamical variables of the principal system. To reject Lorentzian noise, a linear quadratic Gaussian (LQG) controller, using the estimate of the whitening filter and the dynamical variables of a reference system, can be designed to drive the principal system to track the reference system.

Feedback Tracking Control of Non-Markovian Quantum Systems

Shibei Xue, Michael Hush, Ian R. Petersen

In this paper, we present a feedback tracking control strategy to reject colored noise in linear non-Markovian quantum systems. This non-Markovian system is modeled as an augmented linear Markovian system, which includes a principal system to be controlled and multiancillary systems representing the effect of the internal modes of the non-Markovian environment. The colored noise generated by the multiancillary systems disturbs the principal system through a direct interaction. Based on this model, a whitening quantum filter can be obtained for estimating the dynamical variables of both the principal and multiancillary systems, which can be used for feedback control. To reject the colored noise, a linear quadratic Gaussian controller is designed to drive the dynamical variables of the principal system to track those of a reference system. In examples, we show that colored noise with both rational and nonrational spectra in linear non-Markovian quantum systems can be efficiently rejected using our tracking control strategy.

Quantum filter for a non-Markovian single qubit system

Shibei Xue, M. R. James, Alireza Shabani +2 more

In this paper, a quantum filter for estimating the states of a non-Markovian qubit system is presented in an augmented Markovian system framework including both the qubit system of interest and multi-ancillary systems for representing the internal modes of the non-Markovian environment. The colored noise generated by the multi-ancillary systems disturbs the qubit system via a direct interaction. The resulting non-Markovian dynamics of the qubit is determined by a memory kernel function arising from the dynamics of the ancillary system. In principle, colored noise with arbitrary power spectrum can be generated by a combination of Lorentzian noises. Hence, the quantum filter can be constructed for the qubit disturbed by arbitrary colored noise and the conditional state of the qubit system can be obtained by tracing out the multi-ancillary systems.

Global Feedback Stabilization of Quantum Noiseless Subsystem

Kazunori NISHIO, Kenji Kashima, Jun‐ichi Imura

In this paper, we investigate the state preparation problem of quantum noiselsss subsystems for the quantum Markovian systems via quantum feedback control. The controlled dynamics we consider are given by the so-called stochastic master equation including the coupling terms with the environment. We formulate the problem as a stochastic stabilization problem of an invariant set. This formulation allows us to utilize the stochastic Lyapunov technique and derive a globally stabilizing controller. The effectiveness of this method is evaluated by applying it to the 3-qubit systems subject to the collective noise.
