• Abstract: We study the control problem of regulating the purity of a quantum harmonic oscillator in a Gaussian state via weak measurements. Specifically, we assume time-invariant Hamiltonian dynamics and that control is exerted via the back-action induced from monitoring the oscillator's position and momentum observables; the manipulation of the detector measurement strengths regulates the purity of the target Gaussian quantum state. After briefly drawing connections between Gaussian quantum dynamics and stochastic control, we focus on the effect of inefficient detectors and derive closed-form expressions for the transient and steady-state dynamics of the state covariance. We highlight the degradation of attainable purity that is due to inefficient detectors, as compared to that dictated by the Robertson-Schr\"odinger uncertainty relation. Our results suggest that quantum correlations can enhance the purity at steady-state. The quantum harmonic oscillator represents a basic system where analytic formulae may provide insights into the role of inefficient measurements in quantum control; the gained insights are pertinent to measurement-based quantum engines and cooling experiments.

  We address quantum systems isospectral to the harmonic oscillator, as those found within the framework of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. We quantify their non-Gaussianity and evaluate their non-classicality. In turn, non-Gaussian and non-classical stationary states may be obtained and these features persist at non-zero temperature.

We demonstrate the existence of a quantum limit cycle in phase space in the absence of a drive. We additionally show that synchronization can be enhanced with the help of squeezing perpendicular to the direction of the drive and, counterintuitively, linear dissipation.

• Robust optimization for quantum reinforcement learning control using partial observations [10.975734427172231]
  Full observation of quantum state is experimentally infeasible due to the exponential scaling of the number of required quantum measurements on the number of qubits. This control scheme is compatible with near-term quantum devices, where the noise is prevalent. It has been shown that high-fidelity state control can be achieved even if the noise amplitude is at the same level as the control amplitude.
