• Abstract: In waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) systems, a giant cavity can be engineered to interact with quantum fields by multiple distant coupling points so that its non-Markovian dynamics are quite different from traditional quantum optical cavity systems. Towards feedback control this system, this paper designs an optimal filter for the giant cavity systems to estimate its state evolution under continuous quantum measurements. Firstly, the Langevin equation in the Heisenberg picture are derived, which is a linear continuous-time system with both states and inputs delays resulting from the unconventional distant couplings. Compared to existing modeling approaches, this formulation effectively preserves the nonlocal coupling and multiple delay dynamic characteristics inherent in the original system. In particular, the presence of coupling and propagation delays leads to noncommutativity among the system operators at different times, which prevents the direct application of existing quantum filtering methods. To address this issue, an optimal filter is designed, in which the delayed-state covariance matrices are computed. By iteratively evaluating the delayed-state covariance over successive time intervals, the resulting optimal filter can be implemented in an interval-wise backward recursion algorithm. Finally, numerical simulations are conducted to evaluate the tracking performance of the proposed optimal filter for the giant cavity. By comparing between the evolutions of Wigner functions of coherent and cat states and the filter, the effectiveness of the optimal filter is validated.

  We propose a new class of filters based on Gaussian PSD Models, which offer several advantages in terms of density approximation and computational efficiency. We show that filtering can be efficiently performed in closed form when transitions and observations are Gaussian PSD Models. Our proposed estimator enjoys strong theoretical guarantees, with estimation error that depends on the quality of the approximation and is adaptive to the regularity of the transition probabilities.
