Abstract
In this tutorial, we review the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and introduce master equations for open quantum networks as a foundational model for distributed quantum control and quantum computing. We then demonstrate how classical consensus theory can be extended to the quantum regime, where quantum parallelism naturally emerges from the dynamical interactions described by a quantum Laplacian framework. Finally, we show that the blended dynamics theory developed for classical networks can be generalized to quantum networks, providing concrete explanations for observed quantum phenomena in spin networks and other quantum systems.

Guodong Shi received the Ph.D. degree in systems theory from the Academy of Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China in 2010. From 2010 to 2014, he was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the ACCESS Linnaeus Centre, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden. From 2014 to 2018, he was with the Research School of Engineering, The Australian National University, Canberra, ACT, Australia, as a Lecturer and then Senior Lecturer, and a Future Engineering Research Leadership Fellow. Since 2019 he has been with the Australian Center for Robotics, The University of Sydney, NSW, Australia. His research interests include distributed control systems, quantum networking and decisions, social opinion dynamics, and their interface in renewable energies, robotics, and climate change.
