Our results show that the two different feedback control schemes have different influences on the evolutionary speed. By adjusting the feedback parameters, the quantum-jump-based feedback control can induce speedup of the atomic evolution from an excited state, but the homodyne-based feedback control cannot change the evolutionary speed. Additionally, the QSLT for the whole dynamical process is explored. Under the quantum-jump-based feedback control, the QSLT displays oscillatory behaviors, which implies multiple speed-up and speed-down processes during the evolution. While, the homodyne-based feedback control can accelerate the speed-up process and improve the uniform speed in the uniform evolution process.展开更多

Our primary goal in this paper is (i) to solve the feedback-modified master equation, (ii) to demonstrate the ability of feedback control based on the solutions, and (iii) to pick out different steady states by choosing different driving strengths and feedback strengths to counteract the effects of both damping and the measurement back-action on the system. We further investigate some properties of the equilibrium steady state, its distribution probability and entanglement vs. the driving and feedback amplitudes. We find that in our feedback model feedback plays a negative role in producing entanglement.展开更多

Considering the cases that an initial state is and is not orthogonal to the desired state respectively, we propose a class of control strategies with state feedback that ensures the stability of the closed-loop control system. Especially, the asymptotic stability of the control system is analyzed, deduced and proved in detail. Finally, a simulation experiment on a spin-1/2 particle system is done and the relation between the system state evolution time and control value is analyzed with diffierent parameters . Research results have general theoretical meaning for control of quantum systems.展开更多

The robustness of this scheme reflects in the insensitivity to detection inefficiencies and the strong ability against the parameter fluctuations in the feedback, driving, and coupling strengths. The influence of atomic spontaneous emission can be suppressed by using the local feedback control. The scalability is ensured that N-dimensional entangled states of two atoms can be deterministically generated.展开更多

Based on quantum trajectory theory, we obtain an extended master equation for the dynamics of the reduced system in the presence of feedback control. For a qubit system we analytically solve this master equation and obtain the solution of the state vector dynamics. Then we propose an effective feedback control scheme for preparing an arbitrary quantum pure state. We also study how to protect two nonorthogonai states effectively, and find that projective measurement with unbiazed basis is not optimal for this task, while weak measurement with biased basis could realize the best protection of two nonorthogonal states. Furthermore, the inefficiencies in the feedback process are also discussed展开更多

In the switching control strategy, we divide the state space into two parts: a set containing a target state, and its complementary set. By analyzing the stability of the stochastic system model under consideration, we design a constant control law and give some conditions that the control Hamiltonian satisfies so that the system trajectories in the complementary set converge to the set which contains the target state. Further, for the case of a non-degenerate measurement operator, we show that the system trajectories in the set containing the target state will automatically converge to the target state via quantum continuous measurement theory; while for the case of a degenerate measurement operator, the corresponding system trajectories will also converge to the target state via the construction of the control Hamiltonians. The convergence of the whole closed-loop systems under the cases of a non-degenerate and a degenerate measurement operator is strictly proved. The effectiveness of the proposed switching control scheme is verified by the simulation experiments on a finite-dimensional angular momentum system and a two-qubit system.展开更多
