Degrees of controllability for quantum systems and applications to atomic systems

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

Precise definitions for different degrees of controllability for quantum systems are given, and necessary and sufficient conditions are discussed. The results are applied to determine the degree of controllability for various atomic systems with degenerate energy levels and transition frequencies.
