I hope this research evolves beyond the 'Cybernetics' buzzword. It seems like a meaningful term (control, regulation etc.) but when other disciplines take it up, it often seems to fade into vagueness. Psycho-cybernetics, socio-cybernetics, and cybernetics of child development were all hot stuff in the decades after Weiner. But little came of them in the end (mean while, Claud Shannon was doing very real work in Information Theory, which started from the same theoretical underpinnings).
There is no reason x-cybernetics can't deliver, esp. for quantum systems...I just hope that it does this time.
