ABSTRACT:
This talk presents a realization algorithm for a class of complex transfer functions corresponding to physically realizable complex linear quantum systems. The class of complex linear quantum systems under consideration includes interconnections of passive optical components such as cavities, beam-splitters, phase-shifters and interferometers. It is shown that for almost all quantum optical systems within this class, the corresponding transfer function can be realized as a cascade connection involving only cavities and phase-shifters.

BIO:
Ian R. Petersen received a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering in 1984 from the University of Rochester. From 1983 to 1985 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Australian National University. In 1985 he joined the University of New South Wales at the Australian Defence Force Academy where he is currently Scientia Professor and an Australian Research Council Federation Fellow in the School of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering. He has served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Systems and Control Letters, Automatica, and SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization. Currently he is an Editor for Automatica. He is a fellow of the IEEE. His main research interests are in robust control theory, quantum control theory and stochastic control theory.
