摘要
Quantum technology is recognized as one of the most promising directions for our future technologies. By exploiting the unique features of quantum effects, emerging quantum technology is rapidly progressing around the world including quantum computation, quantum communication, quantum metrology and quantum simulation. The development of quantum control plays a grounding role in enabling the preservation and manipulation of quantum states that are used in various quantum technologies. This special issue will focus on new development in relevant topics of estimation and control methods in quantum systems, and provide a forum for idea exchange in this dynamic research area. Particularly, lan R. Petersen, a key figure in the development of robust and quantum control theory, just turned 60 in the past year. We propose to celebrate this occasion with this special issue on quantum control, one of his main research focuses in the last fifteen years.
