The advent of quantum devices, which exploit the two essential elements of quantum
physics, coherence and entanglement, has sparked renewed interest in the control of open …

It is control that turns scientific knowledge into useful technology: in physics and engineering
it provides a systematic way for driving a dynamical system from a given initial state into a …

Optimal control theory is a powerful mathematical tool, which has known a rapid
development since the 1950s, mainly for engineering applications. More recently, it has …

In this paper, we introduce optimal control algorithm for the design of pulse sequences in
NMR spectroscopy. This methodology is used for designing pulse sequences that maximize …

Quantum optimal control (QOC) is a set of methods for designing time-varying
electromagnetic fields to perform operations in quantum technologies. This tutorial paper …

We present the implementation of optimal control into the open source simulation package
SIMPSON for development and optimization of nuclear magnetic resonance experiments for …

The design of broadband excitation and inversion pulses with compensation of B1-field
inhomogeneity is a long standing goal in high resolution NMR spectroscopy. Most …

90° and 180° universal rotation (UR) pulses are two of the most important classes of pulses
in modern NMR spectroscopy. This article presents a systematic study characterizing the …

In [K. Kobzar, TE Skinner, N. Khaneja, SJ Glaser, B. Luy, Exploring the limits of broadband
excitation and inversion, J. Magn. Reson. 170 (2004) 236–243], optimal control theory was …

We consider a two-level quantum system prepared in an arbitrary initial state and relaxing to
a steady state due to the action of a Markovian dissipative channel. We study how optimal …
