We onsider here the problem of population transfer within the rotational

framework as an optimization problem, subjet to the numerial modeling

for diatomi moleulespresentedearlier. The objetive to be metis dened

as the probability to populate a spei target rotational level, given the

initial groundstate:

8.2.1 Experimental Proedure

There are several dening parameters in the present alulations. Some of

them are ritial, as they pose diret onstraints on the quantum system

at hand, and pratially determine its ontrollability. In our model, suh

parameters are the peak Rabi frequeny, whih plays the equivalent role

of the laser intensity, as well as the pulse duration. Setting these two pa-

rameters denes the simulatedphysial system. Given thetarget rotational

level, itis thenpossible to aim at steering thesystem toward it. Thus, we

hooseto onsiderthe population transfer asa funtion of these two den-

ing parameters, where the fous will be on spei values that reet best

state-of-the-art laboratoryexperiments.

on the given systems. Most importantly, there was never a situation where

the DR2obtained ontrollability on a given system on whih theCMA did

not, nor vieversa.

We onsider the ase of a target rotational level of

J

= 4

as an inter- esting ase-study. This is due to the fat that it allows perfet ontrol at

Ωge

= 160×1012s−1

, but yet it is a hallenging task for the optimization routines. Also,theeetofdereasing the peakRabifrequenywhilelosing

All alulations were arried out with

80

runs, limited to

10,000

fun- tion evaluations per run. These alulations obtained qualitatively dier-

ent results for the three intensities onsidered. For

Ωge

12s−1

the optimizations were unable to aomplish the transfer from

J

to

J

= 4

with unit eieny. The best eieny obtained was

32%

. For

Ωge

and for

we nd that population transfer is aomplished with an ever inreasing

numberof distinguishablesolutions.

with a spaing of

, whih orresponds to the beating period

that ontrollable quantum systems with no onstraints plaed on the on-

trolsonly have extrema thatorrespond to perfet ontrol, or to no ontrol

at all; Additional analysis revealed the fundamental nature of ontrol level

sets(seeCorollary6.1.3)atthe absoluteextremaandatsub-optimalontrol

yields.

Astriking aspetof theresultsisthe evidenethatthe number

of independent solutions produed by an optimization seems to

ritially depend on the diulty of the problem. In the urrent

populationtransfer alulations we observed that at lowintensity,

wherereahing the target isahardproblem with less thanperfet

yield, the trials invariably onverge onto one and the same solu-

tion, whereas at higher intensity, where this represents an easier

problem, a wide variety of solutions are enountered.
