Quantum effects improve the energy efficiency of feedback control
Jordan M. Horowitz, Kurt Jacobs
The laws of thermodynamics apply equally well to quantum systems as to classical systems, and because of this quantum effects do not change the fundamental thermodynamic efficiency…
Minimal noise subsystems
Xiaoting Wang, Mark Byrd, Kurt Jacobs
The existence of a decoherence-free subspace/subsystem (DFS) requires that the noise possesses a symmetry. In this work we consider noise models in which perturbations break this s…
Modulated Electromechanics: Large Enhancements of Nonlinearities
Jie-Qiao Liao, Kurt Jacobs, Franco Nori +1
It is well-known that the nonlinear coupling between a mechanical oscillator and a superconducting oscillator or optical cavity can be used to generate a Kerr-nonlinearity for the…
Twenty open problems in quantum control
Kurt Jacobs
The subject of controlling quantum systems is not new, but concepts that have been introduced in the last decade and a half, especially that of coherent feedback, suggest new quest…
