• Abstract: Development of robust quantum control has been challenging and there are numerous obstacles to applying classical robust control to quantum system including bilinearity, marginal stability, state preparation errors, nonlinear figures of merit. The requirement of marginal stability, while not satisfied for closed quantum systems, can be satisfied for open quantum systems where Lindbladian behavior leads to non-unitary evolution, and allows for nonzero classical stability margins, but it remains difficult to extract physical insight when classical robust control tools are applied to these systems. We consider a straightforward example of the entanglement between two qubits dissipatively coupled to a lossy cavity and analyze it using the classical stability margin and structured perturbations. We attempt, where possible, to extract physical insight from these analyses. Our aim is to highlight where classical robust control can assist in the analysis of quantum systems and identify areas where more work needs to be done to develop specific methods for quantum robust control.

  This work develops a quantum control application of many-body quantum chaos for ultracold bosonic gases trapped in optical lattices. In the technique known as targeting, instead of a hindrance to control, the instability becomes a resource. Explicit applications to custom state preparation and stabilization of quantum many-body scars are presented in one- and two-dimensional lattices.

• Robust Control Performance for Open Quantum Systems [0.0]
  A formalism is developed to measure performance based on the transmission of a dynamic perturbation or initial state preparation error. A difficulty arising from the singularity of the closed-loop Bloch equations for the quantum state is overcome by introducing the #-inversion lemma. Additional difficulties occur when symmetry gives rise to multiple open-loop poles, which under symmetry-breaking unfold into single eigenvalues.
