Quantum control of ro-vibrational dynamics and application to light-induced molecular chirality
Monika Leibscher, Eugenio Pozzoli, Alexander Blech +3
Achiral molecules can be made temporarily chiral by excitation with electric fields, in the sense that an average over molecular orientations displays a net chiral signal [Tikhonov…
Chattering Phenomenon in Quantum Optimal Control
R. Robin, U. Boscain, M. Sigalotti +1
We present a quantum optimal control problem which exhibits a chattering phenomenon. This is the first instance of such a process in quantum control. Using the Pontryagin Maximum P…
Quantum optimal control in quantum technologies. Strategic report on current status, visions and goals for research in Europe
Christiane P. Koch, Ugo Boscain, Tommaso Calarco +8
Quantum optimal control, a toolbox for devising and implementing the shapes of external fields that accomplish given tasks in the operation of a quantum device in the best way poss…
Lie algebra for rotational subsystems of a driven asymmetric top
Eugenio Pozzoli, Monika Leibscher, Mario Sigalotti +2
We present an analytical approach to construct the Lie algebra of finite-dimensional subsystems of the driven asymmetric top rotor. Each rotational level is degenerate due to the i…
Complete Controllability Despite Degeneracy: Quantum Control of Enantiomer-Specific State Transfer in Chiral Molecules
Monika Leibscher, Eugenio Pozzoli, Cristobal Pérez +4
We prove complete controllability for rotational states of an asymmetric top molecule belonging to degenerate values of the orientational quantum number M. Based on this insight, w…
Introduction to the Pontryagin Maximum Principle for Quantum Optimal Control
U. Boscain, M. Sigalotti, D. Sugny
Optimal Control Theory is a powerful mathematical tool, which has known a rapid development since the 1950s, mainly for engineering applications. More recently, it has become a wid…
