In the past decade, exciting new mathematics and resulting putative experiments have been proposed that involve quantum mechanics in an essential manner. A recent technological advance is the development of laser and pulse shaping techniques. These techniques make it possible to control processes at the atomic level, where the dynamics evolve according to the laws of quantum mechanics.The main objective of this project is a general methodology for the control of quantum mechanical system. The theory developed will have significant impact on promising applications of quantum mechanics. For example, it will render possible the implementation of quantum information processing for efficient computation and communication, it will shape chemical reactions in order to achieve a desired outcome and it will aid the storage and retrieval of information in memories that approach the molecular size. Apart from control theoretic aspects, this investigation will shed light on aspects of the quantum theory that are still not fully understood. These include the nature of the entanglement with other quantum systems and with the environment, the characterization of quantum versus classical dynamics and the limits and power of quantum computation.

在过去的十年中，提出了令人兴奋的新数学和由此产生的推定实验，这些实验涉及量子力学的基本方式。最近的技术进步是激光和脉冲塑形技术的发展。这些技术使在原子水平上控制过程成为可能，在该过程中，动力学根据量子力学定律进化。该项目的主要目的是控制量子力学系统的一般方法。所开发的理论将对量子力学的有希望的应用产生重大影响。例如，它将可能实施量子信息处理以进行有效的计算和通信，它将塑造化学反应以实现预期的结果，并有助于在接近分子大小的记忆中存储和检索信息。除了控制理论方面，这项研究还将揭示量子理论的各个方面，这些理论尚未完全理解。其中包括与其他量子系统纠缠的性质以及环境，量子与经典动力学的表征以及量子计算的极限和功率。
