Real-time optimal quantum control of mechanical motion at room temperature

Understand

The ability to accurately control the dynamics of physical systems by measurement and feedback is a pillar of modern engineering.

• Today, the increasing demand for applied quantum technologies requires to adapt this level of control to individual quantum systems.
• Achieving this in an optimal way is a challenging task that relies on both quantum-limited measurements and specifically tailored algorithms for state estimation and feedback.
• Successful implementations thus far include experiments on the level of optical and atomic systems.
