Project description
Exploring classical control schemes for feedback in quantum systems
Quantum technologies and systems have seen significant advancements in recent years, leading to rising demand across many sectors and research fields. Recently, feedback loops have been implemented in quantum systems, which play crucial roles in classical control. This area has seen limited implementation and even less research. With the support of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions programme, the QPIDControl project will investigate the use of control schemes crucial to classical theory for controlling the state of quantum systems, specifically proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers. Through the study of these PID controllers, the project will expand our understanding of feedback loops in quantum systems.
Objective
The QPIDControl project will theoretically investigate the use of control schemes known from classical theory, namely proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, to control the state of quantum systems. Over the last decade, interest in applying measurement-based feedback control to quantum systems has increased considerably. Given the versatility of PIDs, it is reasonable to expect that they may be applied to quantum systems, for instance for information processing and feedback control.
Most experimental implementations of feedback loops in quantum systems exclusively rely on the proportional action. Despite their relevance in classical control schemes, the integral and derivative actions have not been studied sufficiently in the context of quantum systems. The goal of QPIDControl is to achieve a new level of understanding of feedback loops by studying the combined effect of the proportional, integral and derivative actions, and to demonstrate the applicability PIDs for the generation of quantum states. First, we will theoretically study the use of PIDs for cooling and controlling a mechanical degree of freedom in an optomechanical system. Second, we will study how classical control schemes translate into quantum systems. Third, we will apply PIDs to characterise the generation and stabilisation of the state of an atom coupled to a waveguide.
During the project, we will actively collaborate with experimental groups to put the results into practice. The results of the project will be useful, for instance, for enhancing the design of optomechanical gravitational wave detectors, and in quantum computing, where qubits need to be initialised in specific states.
