Optimal control of effective Hamiltonians.

We present a systematic scheme for the optimization of quantum simulations. Specifically, we show how polychromatic driving can be used to significantly improve the driving of Raman transitions in the Lambda system, which opens new possibilities for controlled driving-induced effective dynamics.
