Quantum control is an essential tool for the operation of quantum technologies such as quantum computers, simulators, and sensors. Although there are sophisticated theoretical tools for developing quantum control protocols, formulating optimal protocols while incorporating experimental conditions remains a challenge. In this paper, motivated by recent advances in realization of real-time feedback control in circuit quantum electrodynamics systems, we study the effect of experimental imperfections on the optimality of qubit purification protocols. Specifically, we find that the optimal control solutions in the presence of detector inefficiency and non-negligible decoherence can be significantly different from the known solutions to idealized dynamical models. In addition, we present a simplified form of the verification theorem to examine the global optimality of a control protocol.
