Physical realizability and structural constraints A, B, C, D cannot be arbitrary. Assume S = I. Then the system is physically realizable if and only if
Motivation: Coherent control • Control using quantum signals and controllers that are also quantum systems • Strategies include: Direct coherent control not mediated by a field (Lloyd) and field mediated coherent control (Yanagisawa & Kimura, James, Nurdin & Petersen, Gough and James, Mabuchi) Mabuchi coherent control experiment James, Nurdin & Petersen, IEEE-TAC
Coherent controller synthesis • We are interested in coherent linear controllers: • They are simply parameterized by matrices • They are relatively more tractable to design • General coherent controller design methods may produce an arbitrary linear quantum controller • Question: How do we build general linear coherent controllers?
Linear electrical network synthesis • We take cues from the well established classical linear electrical networks synthesis theory (e.g., text of Anderson and Vongpanitlerd) • Linear electrical network synthesis theory studies how an arbitrary linear electrical network can be synthesized by interconnecting basic electrical components such as capacitors, resistors, inductors, op-amps etc
Linear electrical network synthesis • Consider the following state-space representation:
Network synthesis Input fields Output fields Input fields ? Output fields (S,L,H) ? ? ? ? ? Quantum network Synthesis of linear quantum systems • “Divide and conquer” – Construct the system as a suitable interconnection of simpler quantum building blocks, i.e., a quantum network, as illustrated below: Wish to realize this system
Challenge • The synthesis must be such that structural constraints of linear quantum stochastic systems are satisfied

A network synthesis theorem G = (S,L,H) H1n H13 H23 A(t) y(t) G1 G2 G3 Gn H3n H12 H2n • The Gj’s are one degree (single mode) of freedom oscillators with appropriate parameters determined using S, L and H • The Hjk’s are certain bilinear interaction Hamiltonian between Gj and Gk determined using S, L and H
A network synthesis theorem • According to the theorem, an arbitrary linear quantum system can be realized if • One degree of freedom open quantum harmonic oscillators G = (S,Kx,1/2xTRx) can be realized, or both one degree of freedom oscillators of the form G’ = (I,Kx,1/2xTRx) and any static passive network S can be realized • The direct interaction Hamiltonians {Hjk} can be realized
A network synthesis theorem • The synthesis theorem is valid for any linear open Markov quantum system in any physical domain • For concreteness here we explore the realization of linear quantum systems in the quantum optical domain. Here S can always be realized so it is sufficient to consider oscillators with identity scattering matrix
Realization of the R matrix • The R matrix of a one degree of freedom open oscillator can be realized with a degenerate parametric amplifier (DPA) in a ring cavity structure (in a rotating frame at half-pump frequency)
Realization of linear couplings Two mode squeezer • Linear coupling of a cavity mode a to a field can be (approximately) implemented by using an auxiliary cavity b that has much faster dynamics and can adiabatically eliminated • Partly inspired by a Wiseman-Milburn scheme for field quadrature measurement • Resulting equations can be derived using the Bouten-van Handel-Silberfarb adiabatic elimination theory Beam splitter
Realization of linear couplings • An alternative realization of a linear coupling L = αa + βa*for the case α> 0 and α> |β| is by pre- and post-processing with two squeezers Squeezers
Realization of direct coupling Hamiltonians • A direct interaction Hamiltonian between two cavity modes a1 and a2 of the form:can be implemented by arranging the two ring cavities to intersect at two points where a beam splitter and a two mode squeezer with suitable parameters are placed
Realization of direct coupling Hamiltonians • Many-to-many quadratic interaction Hamiltonian can be realized, in principle, by simultaneously implementing the pairwise quadratic interaction Hamiltonians {Hjk}, for instance as in the configuration shown on the right Complicated in general!
Synthesis example a1 = (q1 + p1)/2 a2 = (q2 + p2)/2 b is an auxiliary cavity mode Coefficient =100 HBS1 = -10ia1* b + h.c. HBS2 = -ia1* a2 + h.c. HTMS1 = 2ia1* a2* + h.c. HTMS2 = 5ia1* a2* + h.c. Coefficient = 4 HDPA= ia1* a2* + h.c.
Conclusions • A network synthesis theory has been developed for linear dynamical quantum stochastic systems • The theory allows systematic construction of arbitrary linear quantum systems by cascading one degree of freedom open quantum harmonic oscillators • We show in principle how linear quantum systems can be systematically realized in linear quantum optics
Recent and future work • Alternative architectures for synthesis (recently submitted) • Realization of quantum linear systems in other physical domains besides quantum optics (monolithic photonic circuits?) • New (small scale) experiments for coherent quantum control • Applications (e.g., entanglement distribution)
