A Coherent LQG approach to Quantum Equalization

Résumé : We propose a method to design a suboptimal, coherent quantum LQG controller to solve a quantum equalization problem. Our method involves reformulating the problem as a control problem and then designing a classical LQG controller and implementing it as a quantum system. Illustrative examples are included which demonstrate the algorithm for both active and passive systems, i.e., systems where the dynamics are described in terms of both position and momentum operators and systems with dynamics in terms of annihilation operators only.
