Control through operators for quantum chemistry

We consider the problem of operator identification in quantum control. The free Hamiltonian and the dipole moment are searched such that a given target state is reached at a given time. A local existence result is obtained. As a by-product, our works reveals necessary conditions on the laser field to make the identification feasible. In the last part of this work, some Newton algorithms are proposed together with a continuation method to compute effectively these operators.
