• Authors: Igor G. Vladimirov, Ian R. Petersen
• Abstract summary: This paper is concerned with linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control for a field-mediated feedback connection of a plant and a coherent (measurement-free) controller. The control objective is to make the closed-loop system internally stable and to minimize the infinite-horizon cost involving the plant variables.

• Abstract: This paper is concerned with linear-quadratic-Gaussian (LQG) control for a field-mediated feedback connection of a plant and a coherent (measurement-free) controller. Both the plant and the controller are multimode open quantum harmonic oscillators governed by linear quantum stochastic differential equations. The control objective is to make the closed-loop system internally stable and to minimize the infinite-horizon quadratic cost involving the plant variables and the controller output subject to quantum physical realizability (PR) constraints. This coherent quantum LQG (CQLQG) control problem, which has been of active research interest for over ten years, does not admit a solution in the form of separation principle and independent Riccati equations known for its classical counterpart. We apply variational techniques to a family of discounted CQLQG control problems parameterized by an effective time horizon. This gives rise to a homotopy algorithm, which is initialized with a PR (but not necessarily stabilizing) controller and aims at a locally optimal stabilizing controller for the original problem in the limit.
