- 7. Realization of direct coupling Hamiltonians Many-to-many quadratic interaction Hamiltonian can be realized, in principle, by simultaneously implementing the pairwise quadratic interaction Hamiltonians { H jk }, for instance as in the configuration shown on the right. Complicated in general, are there alternatives?
- 9. Quantum feedback networks Quantum feedback networks are not Markov due to the time delays for propagation of fields. In the limit as all time delays go to zero one can recover an effective reduced Markov model (Gough & James, Comm. Math. Phys., 287, pp. 1109–1132, 2009).

Synthesis via quantum feedback networks Suppose we wish to realize G sys =( I , L , H ) with and Let G jk = ( S jk , L jk , 0) for j ≠ k, and G jj = ( I, K j x j , ½ x j T R j x j ), for j , k = 1 , …, n , with L jk and R j to be determined, L jk =K jk x j having multiplicity 1, and S jk a complex number with | S jk |=1.

- 16. Synthesis via quantum feedback networks Summary of results: One can always find L jk , S jk ( j ≠ k ) and R j such that when the output field associated with L jk is connected to the input field associated with L kj , for all j , k =1, …, n and j ≠ k , and for small time delays in these connections, then G as constructed approximates G sys . L jk , S jk , and R j can be computed explicitly. In the limit of zero time delays the interconnections via L kj and L jk ( j ≠ k ) realizes the direct interaction Hamiltonian H jk =x j T R jk x k .

- 19. Concluding remarks Linear quantum stochastic systems can be approximately synthesized by a suitable quantum feedback network for small time delays between interconnections. Main idea is to approximate direct interaction Hamiltonians by field-mediated interconnections. Direct interactions and field-mediated interactions can be combined to form a hybrid synthesis method.

Editor's Notes
- #4: I am now going to introduce a class of quantum systems that are called linear quantum stochastic systems, these types of systems appear in quantum optics. Starting with a very simple example of such a system: An optical cavity (explain optical cavity).
- #5: More general linear quantum stochastic systems are as shown in the following. Explain figure, especially quadratures of A i . Some outputs may be ignored, thus number of outputs need not be equal to the number of outputs
- #6: Port strategy from classical network synthesis
- #22: Spare slide, whip out for any necessary additional explanations
