Information, disturbance, and Hamiltonian quantum feedback control

Abstract
We consider separating the problem of designing Hamiltonian quantum feedback control algorithms into a measurement (estimation) strategy and a feedback (control) strategy, and we consider optimizing desirable properties of each under the minimal constraint that the available strength of both is limited. This motivates concepts of information extraction and disturbance that are distinct from those usually considered in quantum information theory. Using these concepts, we identify an information tradeoff in quantum feedback control.
