Abstract
Optimal control of complex quantum systems in theory and experiment is the focus of
this thesis. The theoretical aspect of our work was concerned with the development of
algorithms that are capable of precisely tailoring the shapes of control pulses to meet
various control goals while respecting all physical constraints, both fundamental and
problem specific. Having these effective tools at hand, we computed control inputs for
a range of physical systems using simulation-based time propagation. We extended the
dressed chopped random basis (dCRAB) optimization method, previously developed
in our group, such that boundary conditions and other constraints that arise from
experimental setups of quantum systems can be regarded. Therefore, we wrote a
software suite that enables experimentalists to improve their control pulses by directly
interfacing the lab with our control algorithm.
