Improved guaranteed cost control and quantum adaptive control are developed in this study for a quadrotor helicopter with state
delay and actuator faults. Improved guaranteed cost control is designed to eliminate disturbance effects and guarantee the robust stability of a
quadrotor helicopter with state delay. The inapplicability of guaranteed cost control to the quadrotor linear model is addressed by combining
guaranteed cost control with a model reference linear quadratic regulator. In the event of actuator faults, quadrotor tracking performance is
maintained through quantum adaptive control. Finally, the availability of the proposed scheme is verified through numerical simulation
