applied in quantum optics and quantum control problems. Another is the relatively newer quantum Bayesian approach, which has the advantage of being more efficient to infer the state of the measured quantum system merely based on certain integrated output of measurements. In this work, we aim to develop a quantum Bayesian rule for weak measurements of qubits in circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). Starting with the optical quantum trajectory equation, our analysis pays particular attention to the nature of the cavity field under continuous quadrature monitoring. This allows our treatment unrestricted to the „bad-cavity“ and weak-response limits, thus making the obtained rule applicable to general setup parameters. With accuracy well proven numerically in this work, we expect this proposed approach to be useful for future circuit-QED measurement and control experiments.
Quantum Bayesian rule for weak measurements of qubits in superconducting circuit QED
There exist two scenarios of quantum weak measurement theories. One is the well-known quantum trajectory theory which, in terms of continuous differential equation, has been broadly
