Optimal Control of Molecular Motion Expressed Through Quantum Fluid Dynamics
A quantum fluid dynamic control formulation is presented for optimally manipulating atomic and molecular systems. In quantum fluid dynamic the control quantum system is expressed in terms of the probability density and the quantum current. This choice of variables is motivated by the generally expected slowly varying spatial-temporal dependence of the fluid dynamical variables. The quantum fluid dynamic approach is illustrated for manipulation of the ground electronic state dynamics of HCl induced by an external electric field.
