Accurate manipulations of an open quantum system require a deep knowledge of its controllability properties and the information content of the implemented control fields. By using tools of information and quantum optimal control theory, we…
An optimal guidance law for impact time control with field-of-view constraint is presented. The guidance law is derived by first converting the inequality-constrained nonlinear optimal control problem into an equality-constrained one…
In this letter, we apply optimal control theory to design minimum-energy $\pi/2$ and $\pi$ pulses for the Bloch system in the presence of relaxation with constrained control amplitude. We consider a commonly encountered case in which the…
The optimal control of two-level systems by time-dependent laser fields is studied using a variational theory. We obtain, for the first time, general analytical expressions for the optimal pulse shapes leading to global maximization or…
This paper concerns some time optimal control problems of three different ordinary differential equations in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Corresponding to certain initial data and controls, the solutions of the systems quench at finite time. The goal to…
In this paper we consider the minimum time population transfer problem for a two level quantum system driven by {\em two} external fields with bounded amplitude. The controls are modeled as real functions and we do not use the Rotating Wave…
Starting with the basic control system model often employed in NMR pulse design, we derive more realistic control system models taking into account effects such as off-resonant excitation for systems with fixed inter-qubit coupling…
Novel nonlinear damping control is proposed for the second-order systems. The proportional output feedback is combined with the damping term which is quadratic to the output derivative and inverse to the set-point distance. The global…

A new class of cost functionals for optimal control of quantum systems which produces controls which are sparse in frequency and smooth in time is proposed. This is achieved by penalizing a suitable time-frequency representation of the…
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 work, we address the problem of maximizing fidelity in a quantum state transformation process controlled in such a way as to keep decoherence within given bounds. We consider a three-level $\Lambda$-type atom subjected to Markovian…
A pivotal task in quantum metrology, and quantum parameter estimation in general, is to de- sign schemes that achieve the highest precision with given resources. Standard models of quantum metrology usually assume the dynamics is fixed, the…
