Quantum Entanglement and Cryptography for Automation and Control of Dynamic Systems

This paper addresses the application of quantum entanglement and cryptography for automation and control of dynamic systems. A dynamic system is a system where the rates of changes of its state variables are not negligible. Quantum entanglement is realized by the Spontaneous Parametric Down-conversion process. Two entangled autonomous systems exhibit correlated behavior without any classical communication in between them due to the quantum entanglement phenomenon. Specifically, the behavior of a system, Bob, at a distance, is correlated with a corresponding system, Alice. In an automation scenario, the 'Bob Robot' is entangled with the 'Alice Robot' in performing autonomous tasks without any classical connection between them. Quantum cryptography is a capability that allows guaranteed security. Such capabilities can be implemented in control of autonomous mechanical systems where, for instance, an 'Alice Autonomous System' can control a 'Bob Autonomous System' for applications of automation and robotics. The applications of quantum technologies to mechanical systems, at a scale larger than the atomistic scale, for control and automation, is a novel contribution of this paper. Notably, the feedback control transfer function of an integrated classical dynamic system and a quantum state is proposed.
