The engineering and control of devices at the quantum mechanical level—such as those consisting of small numbers of atoms and photons—is a delicate business. The fundamental uncertainty that is inherently present at this scale manifests itself in the unavoidable presence of noise, making this a novel field of application for stochastic estimation and control theory. In this expository paper we demonstrate estimation and feedback control of quantum mechanical systems in what is essentially a… Expand
