• Abstract: We present a theoretical framework for universal single-qutrit control in asymmetric-top molecules, advancing molecular quantum information processing. In this approach, the qutrit is encoded in three rotational eigenstates, with an auxiliary state providing independent phase control within the computational manifold. We explore an analytic protocol for arbitrary single-qutrit gates, combining directly addressable SU(2) rotations with auxiliary-state-mediated phase operations. To support this, we derive a multilevel pulse-area theorem that provides an explicit analytic mapping between gate parameters and control fields, enabling systematic design of high-fidelity microwave pulse sequences. Numerical simulations with 1,2-propanediol confirm the robustness of our approach, achieving Walsh-Hadamard gates with minimal leakage from the computational subspace. We further examine four SU(2) decomposition strategies and find that phase-error sensitivity depends on the decomposition sequence, while amplitude errors propagate along specific coherence pathways. Our results establish asymmetric-top molecules as a viable platform for qutrit-based quantum operations and offer an analytical method for precise quantum control of complex multilevel systems.
