Abstract
We establish an important connection between coherent quantum feedback and the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process in quantum optics. We show that an emitter with fluctuating energy levels in front of a mirror results in an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process for electronic populations, although the fluctuation of the energy levels is assumed to be uncorrelated in time and space. Based on a Heisenberg equation of motion description of the quantum feedback dynamics, we discuss additionally the impact of phase noise on the population dynamics and provide examples in which noise itself is not detrimental but supports and enhances typical features of quantum feedback such as self-stabilization.
