Abstract
Quantum optimal control provides a powerful framework for precisely controlling the dynamics of quantum systems by designing control fields which drive the system to a desired target state. In this thesis, we will first introduce the basic theory of quantum optimal control, including key theorems on controllability and on the absence of local (non-global) optima for control pulses. We will then introduce quantum optimal control algorithms and provide demonstrations of how they work in practice. Finally, we will explore how quantum optimal control can be used to identify system parameters based on experimental data. First, benchmarking this method using fabricated data, before applying it to real-world experimental data. Although the parameter identification algorithm works well for benchmark models, it performed less well for experimental data, with experimental noise likely being the main factor for reduced performance.
