The optimal control for cooling a quantum harmonic oscillator by controlling its frequency is considered. It is shown that this singular problem may be transformed with the proper choice of coordinates to an equivalent problem which is no longer singular. The coordinates used are sufficiently simple that a graphical solution is possible and eliminates the need to use a Weierstrass-like approach to show optimality. The optimal control of this problem is of significance in connection with cooling physical systems to low temperatures. It is also mathematically significant in showing the power and limitations of coordinate transformations for attacking apparently singular problems.
