We extend here the optimization functional targeting arbitrary cat states, derived in the companion paper, to open quantum system dynamics. Applying it to a Jaynes-Cummings model with decay on the oscillator, we find, for strong dissipation and large cat radii, a change in the control strategy for preparing an entangled cat state. Our results illustrate the versatility of the quantum optimal control toolbox for practical applications in the quantum technologies.
