Ws. Zhu et H. Rabitz, A RAPID MONOTONICALLY CONVERGENT ITERATION ALGORITHM FOR QUANTUM OPTIMAL-CONTROL OVER THE EXPECTATION VALUE OF A POSITIVE-DEFINITE OPERATOR, The Journal of chemical physics, 109(2), 1998, pp. 385-391
A new iteration method is presented for achieving quantum optimal cont
rol over the expectation value of a positive definite operator. Theore
tical analysis shows that this new algorithm exhibits quadratic and mo
notonic convergence. Numerical calculations verify that for this new a
lgorithm, within a few steps, the optimized objective functional comes
close to its converged limit. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
