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 physics behind the analysis and control of quantum
dynamics, emphasizing the application of Lie algebra and Lie group
theory. To advantage students, instructors and practitioners, and
since the field is highly interdisciplinary, this book presents an
introduction with all the basic notions in the same place. The
field has seen a large development in parallel with the neighboring
fields of quantum information, computation and communication. The
author has maintained an introductory level to encourage course
use. After introducing the basics of quantum mechanics, the book
derives a class of models for quantum control systems from
fundamental physics. It examines the controllability and
observability of quantum systems and the related problem of quantum
state determination and measurement. The author also uses Lie group
decompositions as tools to analyze dynamics and to design control
algorithms. In addition, he describes various other control methods
and discusses topics in quantum information theory that include
entanglement and entanglement dynamics. Changes to the New Edition:
New Chapter 4: Uncontrollable Systems and Dynamical Decomposition
New section on quantum control landscapes A brief discussion of the
experiments that earned the 2012 Nobel Prize in Physics Corrections
and revised concepts are made to improve accuracy Armed with the
basics of quantum control and dynamics, readers will invariably use
this interdisciplinary knowledge in their mathematics, physics and
engineering work.
