In recent years, Artificial Intelligence systems have received an increasing amount of academic interest in Economics and Finance. Among these works, Artificial Stock Markets (ASM) have particularly benefited from the agent based approach and from the Multi-Agent philosophy. The application fields for Agents-based modelling and simulations in Finance appears extremely promising. For example, on...

In this paper we present a multi-loop measurement feedback control scheme to improve atom laser coherence. The first loop (proposed by Thomsen and Wiseman, 2002) aims to cancel the decohering effects of the nonlinear atom-atom interactions via direct measurement feedback. However, there are nonlinear interactions with the optical probe field used in the measurement scheme which may also contrib...
