In this case, if a controller is synthesized using a method such as quantum H control or quantum LQG control, it important that the controller can be implemented as a physical quantum system.
115 RMIT Definition. QSDEs of the form considered above are physically realizable if there exist suitably structured complex matrices Θ = Θ, M = M, Ñ, S such that S S = I, and F = iθ M 1 ΘÑ JÑ; [ 2 ] S 0 G = ΘÑ 0 S # ; H = Ñ; [ ] S 0 K = 0 S # ;
116 RMIT Note that in the above definition, we require that Θ is of the form Θ = TJT = [ T 1 T 1 T T 2 T # 2 T 1 T 2 T T 2 T # 1 T 2 T 1 T T 1 T # 2 T 2 T 2 T T 1 T # 1 ] and M is of the form M = [ M1 M2 M # 2 M # 1 ],
117 RMIT Note that in the above definition, we require that Θ is of the form Θ = TJT = [ T 1 T 1 T T 2 T # 2 T 1 T 2 T T 2 T # 1 T 2 T 1 T T 1 T # 2 T 2 T 2 T T 1 T # 1 ] and M is of the form M = [ M1 M2 M # 2 M # 1 ], The conditions in the above definition require that the QSDEs correspond to a collection of quantum harmonic oscillators with dynamics defined by the operators ( S,L = Ñ [ ã ã # ],H = 1 2 [ ã ã T ] M [ ã ã # ]).
118 RMIT Theorem. The above QSDEs are physically realizable if and only if there exist complex matrices Θ = Θ and S such that S S = I, Θ is of the form above, and FΘ + Θ F + GJ G = 0; [ ] G = Θ H S 0 0 S # ; [ ] S 0 K = 0 S #.
119 RMIT Theorem. The above QSDEs are physically realizable if and only if there exist complex matrices Θ = Θ and S such that S S = I, Θ is of the form above, and FΘ + Θ F + GJ G = 0; [ ] G = Θ H S 0 0 S # ; [ ] S 0 K = 0 S #. Note that the first of these conditions is equivalent to the preservation of the commutation relations for all times.
120 RMIT Remark. In the canonical case when T = I and Θ = J, the physical realizability equations in the above theorem become FJ + J F + GJ G = 0; [ ] G = J H S 0 0 S # ; [ ] S 0 K = 0 S #.
121 RMIT (J, J)-unitary QSDEs
122 RMIT (J, J)-unitary QSDEs We now relate the physical realizability of the above QSDEs to the (J, J)-unitary property of the corresponding transfer function matrix Γ(s) = [ Γ11 (s) Γ 12 (s) Γ 21 (s) Γ 22 (s) ] = H ( si F) 1 G + K.
123 RMIT Definition (Kimura 97). A transfer function matrix Γ(s) of the above form is (J, J)-unitary if Γ(s) JΓ(s) = J for all s C +.
124 RMIT Definition (Kimura 97). A transfer function matrix Γ(s) of the above form is (J, J)-unitary if Γ(s) JΓ(s) = J for all s C +. Here, Γ (s) = Γ( s ) and C + denotes the set {s C : R[s] 0}.
125 RMIT Theorem. (Kimura, 1997) The transfer function matrix of the above form is (J,J)-unitary if and only if K J K = J, and there exists a Hermitian matrix Ψ such that F Ψ + Ψ F + H J H = 0; K J H + G Ψ = 0.
126 RMIT Theorem. (See also Shaiju and Petersen, 2009) Suppose the linear quantum system defined by the above QSDEs is minimal and and that λ i ( F)+λ j ( F) 0 for all eigenvalues λ i ( F), λ j ( F) of the matrix F. Then this linear quantum system is physically realizable if and only if the following conditions hold: (i) The system transfer function matrix Γ(s) is (J, J)-unitary; [ ] (ii) The matrix K is of the form K S 0 = 0 S # where S S = I.
127 RMIT Physical realizability for annihilator operator linear quantum systems
128 RMIT Physical realizability for annihilator operator linear quantum systems An important special case of the linear quantum systems corresponds to the case in which the Hamiltonian operator H and coupling operator L depend only of the vector of annihilation operators a and not on the vector of creation operators a #. This class of linear quantum systems can be used to model interconnections of passive quantum optical devices such as optical cavities, beam splitters, phase shifters and interferometers.
129 RMIT Example

132 RMIT Here K 1 and K 2 are the coupling parameters of the first cavity and γ is the coupling parameter of the second cavity.
133 RMIT Here K 1 and K 2 are the coupling parameters of the first cavity and γ is the coupling parameter of the second cavity. A QSDE describing this quantum system is as follows: d [ a1 a 2 ] = [ K 1 +K 2 2 K 1 K 2 K 1 γ K 2 γ γ 2 [ K1 + ] K 2 da; γ ][ a1 da out = [ K1 + K 2 γ ] [ a 1 a 2 ] dt + da. ] dt a 2

135 RMIT We now consider the question of physical realizability for annihilator operator QSDEs of the form dã(t) = Fã(t)dt + GdA(t) da out (t) = Hã(t)dt + KdA(t) Definition. The above annihilator operator QSDEs are said to be physically realizable if there exist matrices Θ 1 = Θ 1 > 0, M1 = M 1, Ñ, and S such that S S = I and F = iθ 1 M1 1 2 Θ 1Ñ 1Ñ1; G = Θ 1 Ñ 1 S; H = Ñ1; K = S.

137 RMIT Theorem. (See also Maalouf and Petersen, 2009) The above annihilator operator QSDEs are physically realizable if and only if there exist complex matrices Θ 1 = Θ 1 > 0 and S such that S S = I and FΘ 1 + Θ 1 F + G G = 0; G = Θ 1 H S; K = S.
138 RMIT In the case of annihilator operator QSDEs, the issue of physical realizability is determined by the lossless bounded real property of the corresponding transfer function matrix Γ(s) = H(sI F) 1 G + K.
139 RMIT In the case of annihilator operator QSDEs, the issue of physical realizability is determined by the lossless bounded real property of the corresponding transfer function matrix Γ(s) = H(sI F) 1 G + K. Definition. The transfer function matrix corresponding to the above annihilator operator QSDEs is said to be lossless bounded real if the following conditions hold: i) F is a Hurwitz matrix; ii) for all ω R. Γ(iω) Γ(iω) = I
140 RMIT The following theorem, which is a complex version of the standard lossless bounded real lemma, gives a state space characterization of the lossless bounded real property.
141 RMIT The following theorem, which is a complex version of the standard lossless bounded real lemma, gives a state space characterization of the lossless bounded real property. Theorem. (Complex Lossless Bounded Real Lemma). Suppose the above annihilator operator QSDEs defines a minimal realization of the transfer function matrix Γ(s) = H(sI F) 1 G + K. Then this transfer function is lossless bounded real if and only if there exists a Hermitian matrix X > 0 such that X F + F X + H H = 0; H K = X G; K K = I.
142 RMIT Combining the above two theorems leads to the following result which provides a complete characterization of the physical realizability property for minimal annihilator operator QSDEs.

148 RMIT Conclusions We have surveyed some recent results in the area of quantum linear systems theory and the issue of physical realizability. Physical realizability is important in constructing QSDE models which correspond to real physical quantum systems. The issue of physical realizability is also important in problems of coherent quantum feedback controller synthesis since the synthesized controller needs to be implemented as a real physical quantum system. The results surveyed shows that this property of physical realizability is directly connected to the linear systems notions of lossless bounded real systems and (J, J)-unitary systems.
