Quantum Optimal Control Theory (QOCT) is a rigorous framework that underpins the precise manipulation of quantum systems by designing tailored control fields. It combines advanced mathematical ...

One of the cornerstones of the implementation of quantum technology is the creation and manipulation of the shape of external fields that can optimise the performance of quantum devices. Known as ...

An international research team has controlled hybrid electron-photon quantum states in helium atoms. Control of these special quantum states was enabled by the pulse formation of very intense, extreme ...

Quantum devices are a promising technological advance for the future, but this will hinge on the application of quantum optimal control top real-world devices. A new review looks at the status of the ...
