Robust quantum control can achieve noise-resilience of quantum systems and quantum technological devices. While the need for noise-resilience grows with the number of fluctuating quantities, and thus typically with the number of qubits,…
To control a quantum system via feedback, we generally have two options in choosing control scheme. One is the coherent feedback, which feeds the output field of the system, through a fully quantum device, back to manipulate the system…
