Coherent control of quantum dynamics and the associated applications in quantum information science as well as atomic and molecular physics.
... On the most fundamental level quantum mechanics is still not well understood. Yet quantum mechanics has already played a vital role in our daily life and will be even more useful if we continue to explore how we can actively control the dynamics of quantum systems. The direction of “coherent control ...
