Time-Minimal Control of Dissipative Two-Level Quantum Systems: The Generic Case
The objective of this article is to complete preliminary results from [5], [17] concerning the time-minimal control of dissipative two-level quantum systems whose dynamics is governed by the Lindblad equation. The extremal system is described by a 3-D-Hamiltonian depending upon three parameters. We combine geometric techniques with numerical simulations to deduce the optimal solutions.
