Abstract

This chapter presents a survey of results in the area of networked quantum systems. The chapter includes background material on quantum linear system models and finite level quantum system models. Different forms of these models are discussed and the issue of physical realizability is addressed. Also, the Kalman decomposition for linear quantum systems is described. The use of optical linear quantum networks in the physical realization of quantum systems is discussed for both the passive and non-passive case.
