Feedback is a powerful and ubiquitous technique both in classical and quantum system control. Its standard implementation relies on measuring the state of a system, processing the classical signal, and feeding it back to the system. In…

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…

Feedback loops are at the heart of most classical control procedures. A controller compares the signal measured by a sensor with the target value. It adjusts then an actuator in order to stabilize the signal towards its target. Generalizing…
