Abstract
Quantum control theory is concerned with the control of systems whose dynamics are governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. Quantum control may take the form of open-loop quantum control or quantum feedback control. Also, quantum feedback control may consist of measurement-based feedback control, in which the controller is a classical system governed by the laws of classical physics. Alternatively, quantum feedback control may take the form of coherent feedback control in which the controller is a quantum system governed by the laws of quantum mechanics. In the area of open-loop quantum control, questions of controllability along with optimal control and Lyapunov control methods are discussed. In the case of quantum feedback control, LQG and H∞ control methods are discussed.
