Conceptualizing Potential Uses of CHSH Game-Inspired Methods for Engineering Control Applications

An important question facing control engineering today is what problems quantum information science could be useful for. It is common for utility of quantum information science for engineering to be defined with respect to whether a quantum computer could speed up computations compared to a classical computer. This is certainly an important direction to investigate. However, it is also important to evaluate whether there are uses of quantum information and computation that can provide new capabilities for control engineering that perhaps are different from what can be achieved classically. In this talk, we will discuss our group's recent work in conceptualizing the CHSH game in terms of computation time reduction strategies or communication disruption mitigation methods for control-relevant applications, and the challenges of trying to design strategies that utilize Bell pairs toward attempting to out-perform classical strategies for control action computation, by designing optimization problems to aid with the search for such policies.
