Abstract
Elements of quantum computation are implemented in a vibrationally excited molecule applying optimal control theory. The two different IR-active modes of acetylene are taken as a two-qubit-system. Optimal control theory is us ed to design laser pulses that allow transitions within each qubit separate ly. Calculations for initial state preparation and basic quantum gates are presented.
