Optimal Hamiltonian identification: The synthesis of quantum optimal control and quantum inversion

The concept of OI was introduced and demonstrated using the particular example of extracting transition dipole moment matrix elements from population transfer experimental data. It was confirmed that OI for extracting Hamiltonian information combines the strongest features of both modern laser control experiments and nonlinear inversion techniques to make use of global searching, high experimental repetition rates and ultrafast pulse shaping technology to actively probe the quantum Hamiltonian and reveal the optimal data set for performing an identification.
