We study multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) quantum systems and explore quantum decoupling techniques that can be used to facilitate the design of quantum networks. We provide a quantum state feedback control law to change the structure of a quantum system in order to decouple the multiple channels. We show that an MIMO quantum system can be decoupled as an aggregate of n separated single-input single-output (SISO) quantum systems from an input-output point of view. We also discuss the conditions under which quantum decoupling can be achieved. We illustrate our method with several qubit and atomic systems.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
