We study optimal quantum control of the dynamics of trapped Bose-Einstein condensates: The targets are to split a condensate, residing initially in a single well, into a double well, without inducing excitation; and to excite a condensate…
Applications of Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC) often require that the condensate be prepared in a specific complex state. Optimal control is a reliable framework to prepare such a state while avoiding undesirable excitations, and, when…
We numerically study the optimal control of an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in an optical lattice. We present two generalizations of the gradient-based algorithm, GRAPE, in the non-linear case and for a two-dimensional lattice. We show…

Using a set of general methods developed by Krotov [A. I. Konnov and V. A. Krotov, Automation and Remote Control, {\bf 60}, 1427 (1999)], we extend the capabilities of Optimal Control Theory to the Nonlinear Schr\"odinger Equation (NLSE).…
In this work, we consider a model of two qubits driven by coherent and incoherent time-dependent controls. The dynamics of the system is governed by a Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad master equation, where coherent control enters into…

Out of thermal equilibrium, bosonic quantum systems can Bose-condense away from the ground state, featuring a macroscopic occupation of an excited state or even of multiple states in the so-called Bose-selection scenario. In previous work,…
In quantum optimal control theory the success of an optimization algorithm is highly influenced by how the figure of merit to be optimized behaves as a function of the control field, i.e. by the control landscape. Constraints on the control…
