“…The control of quantum dynamical systems at the electronic level continues to garner increasing attention in applications such as optically-induced chemical reactions [1,2,3], magnetic resonance devices [4,5,6,7], quantum computing [8,9], quantum simulation [10,11], and enhanced sensing modalities [12,13]. Recent advances in both theory and experiment [14,15,16,17,18] have demonstrated the power of quantum optimal control (QOC) [19] for constructing tailored control fields to enable desired quantum processes in these systems. QOC provides a set of rigorous algorithms and mathematical techniques to formalize a quantum control problem, approach the controllability of the system, and ultimately solve the optimal problem [20,21].…”
