Abstract

This paper solves the problem of discrete-time fault-tolerant quantum filtering for a class of laser-atom open quantum systems subject to the stochastic faults. We show that by using the discrete-time quantum measurements, optimal estimates of both the atomic observables and the classical fault process can be simultaneously determined in terms of recursive quantum stochastic difference equations. A dispersive interaction quantum system example is used to demonstrate the proposed filtering approach.
