    IEEE NextCom (Fostering Community Within Controls Research)
    Dec 27 2025

    In this episode I talk to some wonderful members of IEEEcontrol systems society (CSS) NextCom committee about their work fostering inclusivity and belonging within CSS, as well as empowering the next generation of leaders within control. We also cover how you can be a part of this!

    Sophie Schirmer (Quantum Control 2: Controllability and Robustness)
    Dec 1 2025
    This month I got to interview Sophie Schirmer about herfascinating work on quantum control, including notions such as controllability and realisability, different types of quantum states (including pure, mixed, and dark states), comparison between different approaches to optimisation, and the quantum phenomena inside MRI scanners!

    In this month’s episode got to talk to Dr Carrie Weidner allabout controlling quantum systems! I find out what the control objective is forthese systems, how to characterise their robustness (or at least attempt to),how easy it is to apply this to practical systems, and a lot more besides.You can find the transcript at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aixaD-P6R6jFDjS4Zp6nJ2n5ZHPfbWKYCue2v2_ZCVU/edit?usp=sharing Follow the podcast on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/coffee-and-control-podcast/Or connect with me directly: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-hodgins-733a30175/ReferencesPhD thesis: https://jila.colorado.edu/sites/default/files/2019-03/Weidner_PhD_final.pdfSabine Hauert episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/65iwMh2NstKqXvfATpzfm4Sabine episode transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/12t_8k9LRckeGB--YVDS0XWnOeLX8sQcY3njA7jBCj1o/edit?usp=sharingCarrie’s quantum control survey: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2401.00294 Sophie Shermer: https://www.swansea.ac.uk/staff/s.schirmer/Frank Langbein: https://langbein.org/Edmond Jonckheere: https://ee.usc.edu/~jonckhee/Sean O’Neil: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=250lKHEAAAAJ&hl=enPhila Rembold: https://qusco-itn.eu/portfolio_page/phila-rembold-2/Bases in quantum control: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2405.20889Nelder-Mead optmisation: http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Nelder-Mead_algorithm#Advantages_and_disadvantageshttps://brandewinder.com/2022/03/31/breaking-down-Nelder-Mead/Ronnie Kosloff: https://www.humboldt-foundation.de/en/connect/explore-the-humboldt-network/singleview/1211067/prof-dr-ronnie-kosloffBelavkin-Carmichael quantum filter: https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0510028Luenburg filter papers: https://arxiv.org/abs/1609.06454 https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6426181Non-Markovian systems papers: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/14/7/073023 https://arxiv.org/abs/2408.09637 Christiane Koch: https://atominnen.at/empower/interviews/382-christiane-kochOpen quantum systems paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0953-8984/28/21/213001Carrie’s mu analysis paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2207.12385 Randa Herzallah: https://warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/maths/people/staff/herzallah/Paper on quantum optimal control: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00207179.2024.2342939Quantum thermodynamics paper: https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.98.012139Irtaza Khalid: https://profiles.cardiff.ac.uk/staff/khalidmiRobustness-infidelity metric paper: https://journals.aps.org/pra/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevA.107.032606Time-domain log-sensitivity paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2210.15783 Unifying log-sensitivity and RIM: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2303.09518 Robust quantum control papers:https://arxiv.org/pdf/2110.05372https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.13691 Energy landscape shaping paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1367-2630/addc0dJacob Sherson: https://jacobsherson.com/David DiVincenzo: https://qutech.nl/person/david-divincenzo/ Enrico Fermi: https://www.dpma.de/english/our_office/publications/milestones/greatinventors/enricofermi/index.htmlPhysical review letters paper: https://link.aps.org/accepted/10.1103/PhysRevLett.120.263201Point spread modification paper: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2312.05341
