• Abstract: Achieving unit fidelity in quantum state preparation is often impossible in the presence of environmental decoherence. While continuous monitoring and feedback control can improve fidelity, perfect state preparation remains elusive in many scenarios. Inspired by quantum speed limits, we derive an ultimate bound on the steady-state average fidelity achievable via continuous monitoring and feedback control. This bound depends only on the unconditional Lindblad dynamics, the maximum control Hamiltonian strength, and the target state. We also adapt the bound to the case of Markovian feedback strategies. We then focus on preparing Dicke states in an atomic ensemble subject to collective damping and dispersive coupling. By imposing additional constraints on control Hamiltonians and monitoring strategies, we derive tighter fidelity bounds. Finally, we propose specific control strategies and validate them using reinforcement learning. Benchmarking their performance against our theoretical bounds highlights the relevance and usefulness of these bounds in characterizing quantum feedback control strategies.

  In robotics applications, smooth control signals are commonly preferred to reduce system wear and energy efficiency. In this work, we aim to bridge this performance gap by growing discrete action spaces from coarse to fine control resolution. Our work indicates that an adaptive control resolution in combination with value decomposition yields simple critic-only algorithms that yield surprisingly strong performance on continuous control tasks.

  We study the problem of conservative off-policy evaluation (COPE) where given an offline dataset of environment interactions, we seek to obtain a (tight) lower bound on a policy's performance. We introduce HAMBO, which builds on an uncertainty-aware learned model of the transition dynamics. We prove that the resulting COPE estimates are valid lower bounds, and, under regularity conditions, show their convergence to the true expected return.

• No-Collapse Accurate Quantum Feedback Control via Conditional State Tomography [0.0]
  The effectiveness of measurement-based feedback control (MBFC) protocols is hampered by the presence of measurement noise. This work explores a real-time continuous state estimation approach that enables noise-free monitoring of the conditional dynamics. This approach is particularly useful for reinforcement-learning (RL)-based control, where the RL-agent can be trained with arbitrary conditional averages of observables.
