Control Theoretical Approach to Quantum Control

Yanagisawa, M.

Published Aug 26, 2004• 0 citations

Abstract

We derive the quantum stochastic master equation for bosonic systems without measurement theory but control theory. It is shown that the quantum effect of the measurement can be represented as the correlation between dynamical and measurement noise. The transfer function representation allows us to analyze a dynamical uncertainty relation which imposes strong constraints on the dynamics of the linear quantum systems. In particular, quantum systems preserving the minimum uncertainty are uniquely determined. For large spin systems, it is shown that local dynamics are equivalent to bosonic systems. Considering global behavior, we find quantum effects to which there is no classical counterparts. A control problem of producing maximal entanglement is discussed as the stabilization of a filtering process.

Transfer function approach to quantum control- part I: dynamics of quantum feedback systems

M. Yanagisawa, Hidenori Kimura

This paper gives a unified approach to feedback control theory of quantum mechanical systems of bosonic modes described by noncommutative operators. A quantum optical closed-loop, including a plant and controller, is developed and its fundamental structural properties are analyzed extensively from a purely quantum mechanical point of view, in order to facilitate the use of control theory in microscopic world described by quantum theory. In particular, an input-output description of quantum mechanical systems which is essential in describing the behavior of the feedback systems is fully formulated and developed. This would then provide a powerful tool for quantum control and pave an avenue that connects control theory to quantum dynamics. This paper is divided into two parts. The first part is devoted to the basic formulation of quantum feedback control via quantum communication and local operations on an optical device, cavity, that can be regarded as a unit of quantum dynamics of bosonic modes. The formulation introduced in this paper presents the feature intrinsic in quantum feedback systems based on quantum stochastic differential equations. The input-output description provides a basis for developing quantum feedback control through the transfer function representation of quantum feedback systems. In the follow-up paper, the quantum mechanical representation of feedback is further elaborated to yield the control theoretical representation of fundamental notions of quantum theory, uncertainty principle, e.g., and some applications are presented.

Quantum Noise Dynamic Suppression in Quantum Control Theory

Jincheng Zhang

This paper investigates the dynamic suppression of quantum noise within the framework of quantum control theory. The core challenge in implementing precise quantum operations lies in the significant influence of environmental noise, which introduces uncertainties and degrades control fidelity. We propose a novel approach utilizing real-time feedback control, leveraging quantum sensors to monitor the noise levels within a quantum system. Based on this continuous assessment, control parameters are dynamically adjusted to mitigate the impact of noise. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated through theoretical analysis and mathematical modeling. We aim to enhance the accuracy and stability of quantum control processes, ultimately contributing to the reliable execution of complex quantum operations. The system is described by the following Hamiltonian: $H = H_0 + H_I$, where $H_0$ is the system Hamiltonian and $H_I$ represents the interaction Hamiltonian. The time evolution of the system is governed by the equation: $\frac{d|ψ(t)>}{dt} = \frac{i}{\hbar} [H, |ψ(t)]$. Noise is modeled as a stochastic term, adding to the Hamiltonian: $H = H_0 + H_I + H_N$, where $H_N$ represents the noise Hamiltonian. The control pulse can be described as: $U(t) = \sum_{i=1}^N \alpha_i \, e^{-i\omega_i t}$, where $\alpha_i$ are the amplitudes and $\omega_i$ are the carrier frequencies. The fidelity of the quantum operation is evaluated using the overlap between the initial and final states: $Fidelity = ||^2$. The control parameters are optimized to maximize the fidelity. The quantum state evolution is described by the equation: $|ψ(t+\delta t)> = U(t) |ψ(t)>$, where U(t) is the control pulse. The time-dependent Schrodinger equation is: i/ħ ∂/∂t |ψ(t)> = H|ψ(t)>. The noise introduces uncertainties which can be represented as: $\sigma^2 = - ^2$, where N is the noise operator.

Stabilizing Feedback Controls for Quantum Systems

Mazyar Mirrahimi, Ramon Van Handel

No quantum measurement can give full information on the state of a quantum system; hence any quantum feedback control problem is necessarily one with partial observations and can generally be converted into a completely observed control problem for an appropriate quantum filter as in classical stochastic control theory. Here we study the properties of controlled quantum filtering equations as classical stochastic differential equations. We then develop methods, using a combination of geometric control and classical probabilistic techniques, for global feedback stabilization of a class of quantum filters around a particular eigenstate of the measurement operator.

Global feedback stabilization of quantum noiseless subsystems

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.
