Control of quantum transmission is trap free

arXiv:1403.5700 · doi:10.1139/cjc-2013-0301

Abstract

We consider manipulation of the transmission coefficient for a quantum particle moving in one dimension where the shape of the potential is taken as the control. We show that the control landscape---the transmission as a functional of the potential---has no traps, i.e., any maxima correspond to full transmission.
