This article concerns the exact controllability of unitary groups on Hilbert spaces with unbounded control operator. It provides a necessary and sufficient condition not involving time which blends a resolvent estimate and an observability…
We study the controllability of a linear KdV-Schr{\"o}dinger equation on the one-dimensional torus via purely imaginary bilinear controls. Considering controls spanning a suitable finite number of Fourier modes, we prove small-time global…
In this manuscript, we investigate optimal control problems which arise in connection with manipulation of dissipative quantum dynamics. These problems motivate the study of a class of dissipative bilinear control systems. For these systems…
The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), which is arguably the most classical problem in control theory, was recently related to kernel methods in (Aubin-Frankowski, SICON, 2021) for finite dimensional systems. We show that this result extends…
We consider a linear Schr\"odinger equation, on a bounded interval, with bilinear control. Beauchard and Laurent proved that, under an appropriate non degeneracy assumption, this system is controllable, locally around the ground state, in…
Control of quantum dissipative systems can be challenging because control variables are typically part of the system Hamiltonian, which can only generate motion along unitary orbits of the system. To transit between orbits, one must harness…
It is well-known that the controllability of finite-dimensional nonlinear systems can be established by showing the controllability of the linearized system. However, this classical result does not generalize to infinite-dimensional…
We consider a quantum particle in a potential V (x) (x in R^N) subject to a (spatially homogeneous) time-dependent electric field E(t), which plays the role of the control. Under generic assumptions on V, this system is approximately…
Various notions from geometric control theory are used to characterize the behavior of the Markovian master equation for N-level quantum mechanical systems driven by unitary control and to describe the structure of the sets of reachable…

In this paper, motivated by the study of optimal control problems for infinite dimensional systems with endpoint state constraints, we introduce the notion of finite codimensional (exact/approximate) controllability. Some equivalent…
The 1987 Bourgain-Tzafriri Restricted Invertibility Theorem is one of the most celebrated theorems in analysis. At the time of their work, the authors raised the question of a possible infinite dimensional version of the theorem. In this…
We study a finite horizon optimal control problem for the continuity equation under a weighted integral state constraint on the mass outside a fixed set. The model is cast in a Hilbert framework for densities. On a suitable invariant…
In this paper we investigate the limits of control for mixed-state quantum systems. The constraint of unitary evolution for non-dissipative quantum systems imposes kinematical bounds on the optimization of arbitrary observables. We…
This paper studies the local exact controllability and the local stabilization of the semilinear Schr\"odinger equation posed on a product of $n$ intervals ($n\ge 1$). Both internal and boundary controls are considered, and the results are…
In this paper, we seek to combine two emerging standpoints in control theory. On the one hand, recent advances in infinite-dimensional geometric control have unlocked a method for controlling (with arbitrary precision and in arbitrarily…

In this work, we will investigate the question of optimal control for bilinear systems with constrained endpoint. The optimal control will be characterized through a set of unconstrained minimization problems that approximate the former.…
In this paper, we study infinite dimensional stochastic systems having both unbounded control and observation operators. First of all, using a semigroup approach, we give another take of the well-posedness of such systems treated in [SIAM…
