Approximate controllability of the Schr\"{o}dinger Equation with a polarizability term in higher Sobolev norms
This analysis is concerned with the controllability of quantum systems in the
case where the standard dipolar approximation, involving the permanent dipole
moment of the system, is corrected with a polarizability term, involving the
field induced dipole moment. Sufficient conditions for approximate
controllability are given. For transfers between eigenstates of the free
Hamiltonian, the control laws are explicitly given. The results apply also for
unbounded or non-regular potentials
Periodic excitations of bilinear quantum systems
A well-known method of transferring the population of a quantum system from
an eigenspace of the free Hamiltonian to another is to use a periodic control
law with an angular frequency equal to the difference of the eigenvalues. For
finite dimensional quantum systems, the classical theory of averaging provides
a rigorous explanation of this experimentally validated result. This paper
extends this finite dimensional result, known as the Rotating Wave
Approximation, to infinite dimensional systems and provides explicit
convergence estimates.Comment: Available online

Regular propagators of bilinear quantum systems
The present analysis deals with the regularity of solutions of bilinear
control systems of the type where the state belongs to some
complex infinite dimensional Hilbert space, the (possibly unbounded) linear
operators and are skew-adjoint and the control is a real valued
function. Such systems arise, for instance, in quantum control with the
bilinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. For the sake of the regularity analysis, we
consider a more general framework where and are generators of
contraction semi-groups.Under some hypotheses on the commutator of the
operators and , it is possible to extend the definition of solution for
controls in the set of Radon measures to obtain precise a priori energy
estimates on the solutions, leading to a natural extension of the celebrated
noncontrollability result of Ball, Marsden, and Slemrod in 1982. Complementary
material to this analysis can be found in [hal-01537743v1
Internal rapid stabilization of a 1-D linear transport equation with a scalar feedback
We use the backstepping method to study the stabilization of a 1-D linear
transport equation on the interval (0, L), by controlling the scalar amplitude
of a piecewise regular function of the space variable in the source term. We
prove that if the system is controllable in a periodic Sobolev space of order
greater than 1, then the system can be stabilized exponentially in that space
and, for any given decay rate, we give an explicit feedback law that achieves
that decay rate
Finite Controllability of Infinite-Dimensional Quantum Systems
Quantum phenomena of interest in connection with applications to computation
and communication almost always involve generating specific transfers between
eigenstates, and their linear superpositions. For some quantum systems, such as
spin systems, the quantum evolution equation (the Schr\"{o}dinger equation) is
finite-dimensional and old results on controllability of systems defined on on
Lie groups and quotient spaces provide most of what is needed insofar as
controllability of non-dissipative systems is concerned. However, in an
infinite-dimensional setting, controlling the evolution of quantum systems
often presents difficulties, both conceptual and technical. In this paper we
present a systematic approach to a class of such problems for which it is
possible to avoid some of the technical issues. In particular, we analyze
controllability for infinite-dimensional bilinear systems under assumptions
that make controllability possible using trajectories lying in a nested family
of pre-defined subspaces. This result, which we call the Finite Controllability
Theorem, provides a set of sufficient conditions for controllability in an
infinite-dimensional setting. We consider specific physical systems that are of
interest for quantum computing, and provide insights into the types of quantum
operations (gates) that may be developed.Comment: This is a much improved version of the paper first submitted to the
arxiv in 2006 that has been under review since 2005. A shortened version of
this paper has been conditionally accepted for publication in IEEE

A note on modeling some classes of nonlinear systems from data
We study the modeling of bilinear and quadratic systems from measured data. The measurements are given by samples of higher order frequency response functions. These values can be identified from the corresponding Volterra series of the underlying nonlinear system. We test the method for examples from structural dynamics and chemistry
On some open questions in bilinear quantum control
The aim of this paper is to provide a short introduction to modern issues in
the control of infinite dimensional closed quantum systems, driven by the
bilinear Schr\"odinger equation. The first part is a quick presentation of some
of the numerous recent developments in the fields. This short summary is
intended to demonstrate the variety of tools and approaches used by various
teams in the last decade. In a second part, we present four examples of
bilinear closed quantum systems. These examples were extensively studied and
may be used as a convenient and efficient test bench for new conjectures.
Finally, we list some open questions, both of theoretical and practical
interest.Comment: 6 page
