We develop a new approach for efficient and scalable simulations of measurement and control of quantum systems built upon existing phase-space methods, namely the Truncated Wigner Approximation (TWA). We benchmark against existing particle-filter methods by simulating measurement based feedback cooling in a two-mode system, whose low-dimensional nature permits a computation of an exact solution. The advantage of our method is multi-mode scalability, which we demonstrate through the first successful simulation of measurement-based feedback cooling of an incoherent quasi-1D thermal ensemble to quantum degeneracy. As the underlying principle of our approach exploits a general correspondence between measurement and coherent feedback, we anticipate it is also applicable across a broad range of other quantum control scenarios.
