Atomic and Molecular Physics and Opticsdescription
It is control that turns scientific knowledge into useful technology: in physics and engineering itprovides a systematic way for driving a dynamical system from a given initial state into a desired targetstate with minimized expenditure of energy and resources. As one of the cornerstones for enabling quantumtechnologies, optimal quantum control keeps evolving and expanding into areas as diverse as quantumenhancedsensing, manipulation of single spins, photons, or atoms, optical spectroscopy, photochemistry,magnetic resonance (spectroscopy as well as medical imaging), quantum information processing and quantumsimulation. In this communication, state-of-the-art quantum control techniques are reviewed and putinto perspective by a consortium of experts in optimal control theory and applications to spectroscopy,imaging, as well as quantum dynamics of closed and open systems. We address key challenges and sketcha roadmap for future developments.
