QEngine: An open-source C++ Library for Quantum Optimal Control of Ultracold Atoms
Jens Jakob Sørensen, Jesper Jensen, Till Heinzel +1
We present the first version of the QEngine, an open-source C++ library for simulating and controlling ultracold quantum systems using optimal control theory (OCT). The most notabl…

Approaching the Quantum Speed Limit with Global-Local Optimization
Jens Jakob Sørensen, Mikel Aranburu, Till Heinzel +1
We propose a Global-Local optimization algorithm for quantum control that combines standard local search methodologies with evolutionary algorithms. This allows us to find faster s…

Quantum Optimal Control in a Chopped Basis: Applications in Control of Bose-Einstein Condensates
Jens Jakob Sørensen, Mikel Aranburu, Till Heinzel +1
We discuss quantum optimal control of Bose-Einstein condensates trapped in magnetic microtraps. The objective is to transfer a condensate from the ground state to the first-excited…
