Quantum Computing and Information Acquisition

Due to the rapid advances made in Nano-Biotechnology, optical control of molecular dynamics and quantum computation, there is an increasing need to understand the fundamental structure, from the systems theoretical point of view, of the control and observation of quantum mechanical systems for designing advanced sensors and actuators. In this presentation we start with a discussion of the design, synthesis, and control of engineering problems and how the advances of technology helping to solve complex engineering problems. We proceed to discuss the recent trends in quantum computation and quantum computer. Then, we present the differences between the quantum control and measurement problems and the classical control and measurement problems. We conclude with a list of recent applications of quantum phenomena to build new sensors and other systems for information acquisition.
