$H^1$ local exact controllability of some one-dimensional bilinear Schr{ö}dinger equations

Abstract

The local exact controllability of the one-dimensional bilinear Schr{ö}dinger equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions has been extensively studied in subspaces of H 3 since the seminal work of K. Beauchard. Our first objective is to revisit this result and establish the controllability in H 1 0 for suitable discontinuous control potentials. In the second part, we consider the equation in the presence of periodic boundary conditions and a constant magnetic field. We prove the local exact controllability of periodic H 1 -states, thanks to a Zeeman-type effect induced by the magnetic field which decouples the resonant spectrum. Finally, we discuss open problems and partial results for the Neumann case and the harmonic oscillator.
