Abstract
Quantum Feedback Network Theory (also known colloquially as the SLH-framework) is a powerful tool for modeling systems in quantum optics. This paper describes a method for discretising SLH-networks such that they can be implemented on a quantum computer. Building on a discretisation theorem for quantum stochastic differential equations, we establish strong convergence, uniformly on compact time intervals, of the discretised system to the continuous SLH-network as the discretisation mesh goes to zero.
