CONTRIBUTION FROM THE R&D COMMUNITY:
QUANTUM CONTROL ENGINEERING
Quantum mechanics has entered its second generation where nondestructive individual manipulation and measurement of trapped quantum systems are technologically accessible. Precipitately, disruptive industrial revolution has been realized among scientists and engineers and the results of close collaboration aiming for deep technologies are evidently marvelous. Financially stimulated by all parties on a global scale, new breed of scientists who are fluent in quantum mechanics as well as broad engineering skillset uninterruptedly builds up to undertake practical quantum technology.
At the doorstep of the fourth industrial revolution, quantum technology has considerably contributed to the growth of military commercial enterprises. While creating new defense technologies, enhancing existing military technologies, and miniaturizing quantum devices are among the first in a to-do-list, making ready digital-quantum integration and interoperating quantum technology with standard communication protocols also deserves high prioritization. Intrinsically, the key success simply lies on quantum engineering that involves many pioneering interdisciplinary developments. Only through a thorough analysis over the state-of-the-art classical control engineering, we would be able to bridge digital and quantum technologies which allows to seamlessly blend quantum enhanced devices with diverse communication systems. The main skill sets are listed as follows, laser systems engineering, quantum-limited attenuator and amplifier, digital-quantum actuator, open-loop control, adaptive feedback control, measurement-based real-time feedback control, coherent real-time feedback control, incoherent quantum control, closed-loop self-regulating system-controller models, and adiabatic quantum control with deep learning. The main applications covered the following topics.
