• Abstract: In this work, we formulate the problem of achieving in minimum-time perfect chiral resolution with bounded control fields, as an optimal control problem on two non-interacting spins-$1/2$. We assume the same control bound for the two Raman fields (pump and Stokes) and a different bound for the field connecting directly the two lower-energy states. Using control theory, we show that the optimal fields can only take the boundary values or be zero, the latter corresponding to singular control. Subsequently, using numerical optimal control and intuitive arguments, we identify some three-stage symmetric optimal pulse-sequences, for relatively larger values of the ratio between the two control bounds, and analytically calculate the corresponding pulse timings as functions of this ratio. For smaller values of the bounds ratio, numerical optimal control indicates that the optimal pulse-sequence loses its symmetry and the number of stages increases in general. In all cases, the analytical or numerical optimal protocol achieves a faster perfect chiral resolution than other pulsed protocols, mainly because of the simultaneous action of the control fields. The present work is expected to be useful in the wide spectrum of applications across the natural sciences where enantiomer separation is a crucial task.

  We use the Pontryagin's maximum principle (PMP) to solve the time and pulse-area optimization problems. We find that short-CORPSE is a probable candidate of the time optimal solution according to the PMP. We evaluate the performance of the pulse-area optimal robust control and the short-CORPSE, comparing with that of the direct operation.

  We consider a two-level system with a fixed energy spacing (detuning) between the two levels and a single transverse control field. We solve the problem of generating in minimum time a uniform superposition of the two quantum states when starting from one of them. We find the optimal pulse sequence to have the bang-bang form, and calculate the durations of the pulses composing it.
