Abstract
In this work we study extrema of objective functionals for ultrafast manipulation by a qubit. Traps are extrema of the objective functionals which are optimal for manipulation by quantum systems only locally but not globally. Much effort in prior works was devoted to the analysis of traps for quantum systems controlled by long enough laser pulses and, for example, manipulation by a qubit with long control pulses was shown to be trap-free. Ultrafast femtosecond and attosecond control becomes now widely applicable that motivates the necessity for the analysis of traps on the ultrafast time scale. We do such analysis for a qubit and show that ultrafast state transfer in a qubit remains trap-free for a wide range of the initial and final states of the qubit. We prove that for this range the probability of transition between the initial and the final states has a saddle but has no traps.
