Quantum Control Engineering: Mathematical Principles and ApplicationsMonth: July 2014 Date: July 21--August 15 Name: Quantum Control Engineering: Mathematical Principles and Applications Location: Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Cambridge, United Kingdom. DescriptionWe are currently entering a new technological era in which we are able to build systems whose performance is limited by quantum physical effects and in which it may be possible to exploit non-classical phenomena in novel ways. To this end, there has been considerable recent interest in engineering quantum systems and at the heart of this is the development of a quantum control theory dedicated to extending classical control to the quantum domain. Examples already utilizing control of one sort or another include quantum electromechanical systems, quantum dots, cooper-pair boxes, superconducting interference devices, ion traps, as well as a large selection of optical devices. It is clear that a mathematical framework is essential for the future development of quantum control as an engineering discipline. The aim of the programme is to bring together experimentalists and theoreticians working in quantum engineering to identify the core mathematical issues and challenges ahead. Information |
