    Robust Stability of Quantum Systems with Nonlinear Dynamic Uncertainties

    Full text link
    This paper considers the problem of robust stability for a class of uncertain nonlinear quantum systems subject to unknown perturbations in the system Hamiltonian. The nominal system is a linear quantum system defined by a linear vector of coupling operators and a quadratic Hamiltonian. This paper extends previous results on the robust stability of nonlinear quantum systems to allow for quantum systems with dynamic uncertainties. These dynamic uncertainties are required to satisfy a certain quantum stochastic integral quadratic constraint. The robust stability condition is given in terms of a strict bounded real condition. This result is applied to the robust stability analysis of an optical parametric amplifier.Comment: A shortened version is to appear in the proceedings of the 2013 IEEE Conference on Decision and Contro

    Quantum Robust Stability of a Small Josephson Junction in a Resonant Cavity

    Full text link
    This paper applies recent results on the robust stability of nonlinear quantum systems to the case of a Josephson junction in a resonant cavity. The Josephson junction is characterized by a Hamiltonian operator which contains a non-quadratic term involving a cosine function. This leads to a sector bounded nonlinearity which enables the previously developed theory to be applied to this system in order to analyze its stability.Comment: A version of this paper appeared in the proceedings of the 2012 IEEE Multi-conference on Systems and Contro

    Guaranteed Non-quadratic Performance for Quantum Systems with Nonlinear Uncertainties

    Full text link
    This paper presents a robust performance analysis result for a class of uncertain quantum systems containing sector bounded nonlinearities arising from perturbations to the system Hamiltonian. An LMI condition is given for calculating a guaranteed upper bound on a non-quadratic cost function. This result is illustrated with an example involving a Josephson junction in an electromagnetic cavity.Comment: A version of this paper is to appear in the Proceedings of the 2014 American Control Conferenc

    Stability, Gain, and Robustness in Quantum Feedback Networks

    Full text link
    This paper concerns the problem of stability for quantum feedback networks. We demonstrate in the context of quantum optics how stability of quantum feedback networks can be guaranteed using only simple gain inequalities for network components and algebraic relationships determined by the network. Quantum feedback networks are shown to be stable if the loop gain is less than one-this is an extension of the famous small gain theorem of classical control theory. We illustrate the simplicity and power of the small gain approach with applications to important problems of robust stability and robust stabilization.Comment: 16 page

    Quantum Popov robust stability analysis of an optical cavity containing a saturated Kerr medium

    Full text link
    This paper applies results on the robust stability of nonlinear quantum systems to a system consisting an optical cavity containing a saturated Kerr medium. The system is characterized by a Hamiltonian operator which contains a non-quadratic term involving a quartic function of the annihilation and creation operators. A saturated version of the Kerr nonlinearity leads to a sector bounded nonlinearity which enables a quantum small gain theorem to be applied to this system in order to analyze its stability. Also, a non-quadratic version of a quantum Popov stability criterion is presented and applied to analyze the stability of this system.Comment: A shortened version will appear in the Proceedings of the 2013 European Control Conferenc

    A Popov Stability Condition for Uncertain Linear Quantum Systems

    Full text link
    This paper considers a Popov type approach to the problem of robust stability for a class of uncertain linear quantum systems subject to unknown perturbations in the system Hamiltonian. A general stability result is given for a general class of perturbations to the system Hamiltonian. Then, the special case of a nominal linear quantum system is considered with quadratic perturbations to the system Hamiltonian. In this case, a robust stability condition is given in terms of a frequency domain condition which is of the same form as the standard Popov stability condition.Comment: A shortened version to appear in the proceedings of the 2013 American Control Conferenc
