| Research Abstract |
We have developed a generalized algorithm for solving optimal control problems. The new simulation algorithm has been applied to the creation and control of intramolecular entangled state, which enabled us to develop novel spectroscopic procedures.
Coherent control of a molecular wave function with extreme precision is essential to create and control a specified intramolecular entangled state. For this purpose, a closed-loop (optimal control) experiment has already developed. We have applied its theoretical counterpart, optimal control theory, to representative examples, which include non-adiabatic transitions induced by a conical intersection, and adsorbed molecules under the influence of strong dissipation. The latter could be regarded as a model system of quantum devices.
Quantum entanglement plays an essential role in quantum information processing. We combined quantum computation with a spectroscopic method. That is, typical quantum gates (CNOT, quantum Fourier transform) implemented in molecular degrees of freedom has been shown to be detected by a newly designed quantum interferometer. We have also shown that photo-fragmentation products induced by geometric phase effects can be used to efficiently detect intramolecular entangled states.
