Recent years have witnessed an explosion of interest in quantum devices for the production,
storage, and transfer of energy. This Colloquium concentrates on the field of quantum …

Quantum decoherence plays a pivotal role in the dynamical description of the quantum-to-
classical transition and is the main impediment to the realization of devices for quantum …

Continuously measured quantum systems are characterized by an output current, in the form
of a stochastic and correlated time series, which conveys crucial information about the …

The control of individual quantum systems promises a new technology for the 21st century-
quantum technology. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of modern quantum …

Quantum control is concerned with active manipulation of physical and chemical processes
on the atomic and molecular scale. This work presents a perspective of progress in the field …

Over the course of the past decade, decoherence has become a ubiquitous scienti? c term
popular in all kinds of research, from fundamental theories of quantum physics to …

In real-time quantum feedback protocols,, the record of a continuous measurement is used
to stabilize a desired quantum state. Recent years have seen successful applications of …

The control of individual quantum systems is now a reality in a variety of physical settings.
Feedback control is an important class of control methods because of its ability to reduce the …

Feedback loops are central to most classical control procedures. A controller compares the
signal measured by a sensor (system output) with the target value or set-point. It then adjusts …

This study presents a survey on quantum control theory and applications from a control
systems perspective. Some of the basic concepts and main developments (including open …
