Abstract
Control systems, apparatus, and methods can apply quantum algorithms to control a control object in the presence of uncertainty and/or information risk. A self-organizing controller can include a quantum inference unit that can generate a set of robust control gains for a controller that can meet the control objectives for the particular realization of the control object. In one embodiment, the quantum inference unit can include a quantum correlator configured to generate a plurality of quantum states based on a plurality of controller parameters and a correlation type. In this embodiment, the quantum inference unit can also include a quantum optimizer configured to select the correlation type of the quantum correlator and to select a quantum state from the plurality of the quantum states. The self-organizing controller can control the control object with one or more controller gains that are based on the selected quantum state.
