Optimal control of complex high-dimensional quantum systems poses new challenges for systems and control theory. This issue is of paramount importance for the development of future key technologies, such as quantum computing, quantum communication and the manipulation of nanosystems. New challenges arise if the interaction structure between such systems is fully taken into account to enable efficient optimal control strategies. This research project aims at achieving a fundamental understanding of controllability properties and optimal control strategies for finite-dimensional interacting quantum dynamical systems. For this purpose, techniques from nonlinear control, Lie group theory, and optimization on function spaces will be combined in an innovative way.
