Altering the Course of Quantum Dynamics Phenomena

赫歇尔A普林斯顿大学的Rabitz得到了理论和计算化学计划的支持，以开发新的理论概念来控制量子现象，并从控制过程中提取机械和其他物理信息。 该研究计划的主要组成部分是受控量子现象的理论分析和实验室可执行算法的发展，用于控制和分析量子现象。 该研究涉及基础研究，以确定控制成本函数景观的相关拓扑特征。 正在开发新的实验控制算法，以提高效率，识别控制机制，提取分子相互作用，检查半导体中的量子电子传输，并控制单分子量子控制实验。 这项工作在实验室的相关影响和应用中产生了更广泛的影响。 跨学科合作正在进行中的化学，物理和应用数学界的研究人员在世界各地的几个国家。目前正在为理工科学生准备一门关于量子控制的新课程。

Herschel A. Rabitz of Princeton University is supported by the Theoretical and Computational Chemistry Program to develop new theoretical concepts for the control of quantum phenomena and the extraction of mechanistic and other physical information from the control process. The main components of this research program are theoretical analyses of controlled quantum phenomena and developments of laboratory executable algorithms for the control and analysis of quantum phenomena. The research involves fundamental studies to identify the relevant topological features of the control cost function landscapes. New experimental control algorithms are under development to enhance efficiency, identify control mechanisms, extract molecular interactions, examine quantum electron transport in semiconductors, and control single-molecule quantum control experiments. This work is having a broader impact in its associated implications and applications in the laboratory. Interdisciplinary collaborations are underway with researchers in the chemistry, physics and applied mathematics communities in several countries worldwide. A new course on quantum control for science and engineering students is in preparation.
