Recently, it could be shown that it not only yields qualitatively but also quantitatively cutting edge images even on an atomic level. In this paper we present how control is a key enabling element to this. The developed control approach consists of a two-degree-of-freedom control framework that comprises a feedforward and a feedback part. For the latter we design two tailored feedback controllers. The feedforward part generates a reference for the current scanned line based on the previously scanned one. We discuss in detail various aspects of the presented control approach and its implications for scanning quantum dot microscopy. We evaluate the influence of the feedforward part and compare the two proposed feedback controllers. The proposed control algorithms speed up scanning quantum dot microscopy by more than a magnitude and enable to scan large sample areas.}, keywords = {Systems and Control (eess.SY) (Other) / FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering (Other)}, cin = {PGI-3}, cid = {I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-3-20110106}, pnm = {5213 - Quantum Nanoscience (POF4-521)}, pid = {G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5213}, typ = {PUB:(DE-HGF)25}, doi = {10.48550/ARXIV.2102.12708}, url = {https://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1041582}, }
