• Abstract: We use optimal control in order to find the optimal shapes of pulses maximizing the population transfer between two bound states which are coupled via a continuum of states. We find that the optimal bounded controls acquire the bang-interior and interior-bang form, with the bang part corresponding to the maximum allowed control value and the interior part to values between zero and the maximum. Then, we use numerical optimal control to obtain the switching times and the interior control values. We compare our results with those obtained using Gaussian STIRAP pulses, and find that the optimal method performs better, with the extent of improvement depending on the effective two-photon detuning and the size of incoherent losses. When we consider effective two-photon resonance, the improvement is more dramatic for larger incoherent losses, while when we take into account the effective two-photon detuning, the improvement is better for smaller incoherent losses. We also obtain how the transfer efficiency increases with increasing absolute value of the Fano factor. The present work is expected to find application in areas where the population transfer between two bound states through a continuum structure plays an important role, for example coherence effects, like population trapping and electromagnetically induced transparency, optical analogs for light waves propagating in waveguide-based photonic structures, and qubits coupled via a continuum of bosonic or waveguide modes.

  We numerically study a two-level model system (qubit) under the influence of Markovian decoherence. An optimal pulse is numerically designed while systematically varying the values of dephasing, population decay, pulse fluence, and control period. Although the decrease in purity due to the decoherence gives rise to the upper limit of the target expectation value, the optimally shaped pulse effectively deals with the decoherence.
