Introduction to Quantum Control and Dynamics

Front Cover
CRC Press, Aug 3, 2007 - Mathematics - 360 pages
The introduction of control theory in quantum mechanics has created a rich, new interdisciplinary scientific field, which is producing novel insight into important theoretical questions at the heart of quantum physics. Exploring this emerging subject, Introduction to Quantum Control and Dynamics presents the mathematical concepts and fundamental ph
