Project description
Feedback techniques could make quantum systems more stable and practical
Quantum coherence and entanglement are landmark features of quantum physics and at the heart of quantum technologies. However, designing quantum devices that leverage the bizarre characteristics of quantum mechanics on a large scale while maintaining coherence is challenging. Noise from the surrounding environment can disturb the interference patterns of qubits and ruin quantum operations. The goal of the EU-funded Q-Feedback project is to address this challenge through mathematical system theory. The project will elaborate theoretical control methods to analyse and design feedback schemes for protecting and stabilising quantum systems. New mathematical techniques will be used to harness the inherently stochastic aspects of quantum measurements.
