WavePacket is an open-source program package for numeric simulations in
quantum dynamics. It can solve time-independent or time-dependent linear
Schr\"odinger and Liouville-von Neumann-equations in one or more dimensions.
Also coupled equations can be treated, which allows, e.g., to simulate
molecular quantum dynamics beyond the Born-Oppenheimer approximation.
Optionally accounting for the interaction with external electric fields within
the semi-classical dipole approximation, WavePacket can be used to simulate
experiments involving tailored light pulses in photo-induced physics or
chemistry. Being highly versatile and offering visualization of quantum
dynamics 'on the fly', WavePacket is well suited for teaching or research
projects in atomic, molecular and optical physics as well as in physical or
theoretical chemistry. Building on the previous Part I which dealt with closed
quantum systems and discrete variable representations, the present Part II
focuses on the dynamics of open quantum systems, with Lindblad operators
modeling dissipation and dephasing. This part also describes the WavePacket
function for optimal control of quantum dynamics, building on rapid
monotonically convergent iteration methods. Furthermore, two different
approaches to dimension reduction implemented in WavePacket are documented
here. In the first one, a balancing transformation based on the concepts of
controllability and observability Gramians is used to identify states that are
neither well controllable nor well observable. Those states are either
truncated or averaged out. In the other approach, the H2-error for a given
reduced dimensionality is minimized by H2 optimal model reduction techniques,
utilizing a bilinear iterative rational Krylov algorithm
