Robust Coherent Control Engineering for Quantum Systems and Networks

该项目旨在为量子系统和网络的新兴应用开发鲁棒相干控制器设计的新方法。使用本身就是量子系统的鲁棒控制器，来自最优风险敏感控制理论的工具旨在使技术系统在面对由于不完美的制造和与环境的相互作用而不可避免的不确定性时能够设计出高水平的性能。该研究旨在产生系统的控制工程方法，以对抗量子退相干的影响，这对于使量子计算等量子技术真正实用至关重要。应用包括计算、安全通信、传感和模拟

This project aims to develop new methods for the design of robust coherent controllers for emerging applications to quantum systems and networks. Using robust controllers which are themselves quantum systems, tools from the theory of optimal risk sensitive control aim to enable technological systems to be designed with high levels of performance in the face of unavoidable uncertainties due to imperfect fabrication and interactions with the environment. The research aims to yield systematic control engineering methods to combat the effects of quantum decoherence which is critical in order to make quantum technologies such as quantum computing truly practical. Applications include computing, secure communications, sensing and simulations
