We study a coherent-classical estimation scheme for a class of linear quantum systems, where the estimator is a mixed quantum-classical system that may or may not involve coherent feedback. We show that when the quantum plant or the quantum…
Feedback uses past detection outcomes to dynamically modify a quantum system and is central to quantum control. These outcomes can be stored in a memory, defined as a stochastic function of past measurements. In this work, we investigate…

A new method for doing feedback control of single quantum systems was proposed. Instead of feeding back precisely the process output, a cloning machine served to obtain the feedback signal and the output. A simple example was given to…
