Efficient STIRAP-like scheme for coherent population transfer by revisited optimal control theory

Amine Jaouadi, Mamadou Ndong

We demonstrate that Optimal Control Theory (OCT) with a state-dependent constraint which depends on the state of the system at each instant can reproduce the famous counterintuitiv…

Control of molecular dynamics with zero-area fields: Application to molecular orientation and photofragmentation

D. Sugny, Stéphane Vranckx, Mamadou Ndong +3

The constraint of time-integrated zero-area on the laser field is a fundamental, both theoretical and experimental requirement in the control of molecular dynamics. By using techni…

Newton algorithm for Hamiltonian characterization in quantum control

M. Ndong, J. Salomon, D. Sugny

We propose a Newton algorithm to characterize the Hamiltonian of a quantum system interacting with a given laser field. The algorithm is based on the assumption that the evolution…

External constraints on optimal control strategies in molecular orientation and photofragmentation: Role of zero-area fields

D. Sugny, S. Vranckx, M. Ndong +2

We propose a new formulation of optimal and local control algorithms which enforces the constraint of time-integrated zero-area on the control field. The fulfillment of this requir…

Time optimization and state-dependent constraints in the quantum optimal control of molecular orientation

M. Ndong, C. Koch, D. Sugny

We apply two recent generalizations of monotonically convergent optimization algorithms to the control of molecular orientation by laser fields. We show how to minimize the control…

Comparative study of monotonically convergent optimization algorithms for the control of molecular rotation

M. Ndong, M. Lapert, C. Koch +1

We apply two different monotonically convergent optimization algorithms to the control of molecular rotational dynamics by laser pulses. This example represents a quantum control p…
