3 Motivation Mathematical questions Simultaneous controllability d Isolated system: dt x(t) = f (t, x(t), u(t)). Collection of similar systems d dt x k(t) = f k (t, x k (t), u(t)), k = 1,..., K. (1) Similar may mean f k (t, x, u) = f (t, x, α k u), α k R. The systems differ in their interaction with the control e.g. for instance are placed spatially differently with respect to the controlling action. Can one simultaneously control all systems with same u(t)? Gabriel Turinici (U Paris Dauphine) Multiple and perturbed bi-linear control InterDyn2013, Paris 3 / 42

4 Motivation Mathematical questions Controllability of large perturbations d Un-perturbed system: dt x(t) = f (t, x(t), u(t)). Perturbed system: d dt x k(t) = f (t, x k (t), u(t) + δu k (t)), k = 1,..., K. (2) Large perturbations: δu k (t), k = 1,..., K in a fixed list (alphabet) but there is no knowledge about which k will actually occur. Can one still control the system? Gabriel Turinici (U Paris Dauphine) Multiple and perturbed bi-linear control InterDyn2013, Paris 4 / 42

5 Motivation Optical and magnetic manipulation of quantum dynamics Laser SELECTIVE control over quantum dynamics Figure: Optimized laser pulses can be used to control molecular dynamics. a, An optimized laser pulse excites benzene into the superposition state S0 + S1 with bidirectional electron motion that results in switching between two discrete Kekulé structures on a subfemtosecond timescale; b: A different optimized laser pulse excites benzene into the superposition state S0 + S2, which is triply ionic; c: The next frontier in simulating control is to excite both electronic and nuclear dynamics simultaneously.

20 Background on controllability criteria Controllability A system is controllable if for two arbitrary points Ψ 1 and Ψ 2 on the unit sphere (or other ensemble of admissible states) it can be steered from Ψ 1 to Ψ 2 with an admissible control. Norm conservation : controllability is equivalent, up to a phase, to say that the projection to a target is = 1.

24 Background on controllability criteria Corollary. If L = u(n) or L = su(n) (the (null-traced) skew-hermitian matrices) then the system is controllable. Proof For any Ψ 0, Ψ T there exists a rotation U in U(N) = e u(n) (or in SU(N) = e su(n) ) such that Ψ T = UΨ 0. (Albertini & D Alessandro 2001) Controllability also true for L isomorphic to sp(n/2) (unicity). sp(n/2) = {M( : M + M = ) 0, M t J + JM = 0} where J is a matrix unitary 0 IN/2 equivalent to and I I N/2 0 N/2 is the identity matrix of dimension N/2 Gabriel Turinici (U Paris Dauphine) Multiple and perturbed bi-linear control InterDyn2013, Paris 24 / 42

30 Simultaneous controllability of quantum systems Theorem (B. Li, G. T., V. Ramakhrishna, H. Rabitz. 2002, 2003) : If dim R Lie( ia, ib) = 1 + L (Nl 2 1), then the system is controllable (the dimension of Lie( ia, ib) is computed over R). Moreover, if the system is controllable, there exists a time T > 0 such that any target can be reached at or before time T (and thereafter for all t > T ), i.e. for any c 0 S et t T the set of reachable states from c 0 is S. l=1 Gabriel Turinici (U Paris Dauphine) Multiple and perturbed bi-linear control InterDyn2013, Paris 30 / 42

31 Controllability of a set of identical molecules Controllability of a set of identical molecules N 2 identical molecules, placed under simultaneous control of only one laser field.

32 Controllability of a set of identical molecules Controllability of a set of identical molecules Linear case: d dt x 1 = Ax 1 + Bu(t), x 1 (0) = 0 (12) d dt x 2 = Ax 2 + 2Bu(t), x 2 (0) = 0. (13) (14) Then for any control u(t) we have x 2 (t) = 2x 1 (t), thus there are restrictions on the attainable set; no simultaneous control in the linear case.
