Optimal quantum control in nanostructures: Theory and application to generic three-level system

arXiv:cond-mat/0209513 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.66.053811

Abstract

Coherent carrier control in quantum nanostructures is studied within the framework of Optimal Control. We develop a general solution scheme for the optimization of an external control (e.g., lasers pulses), which allows to channel the system's wavefunction between two given states in its most efficient way; physically motivated constraints, such as limited laser resources or population suppression of certain states, can be accounted for through a general cost functional. Using a generic three-level scheme for the quantum system, we demonstrate the applicability of our approach and identify the pertinent calculation and convergence parameters.
