Quantum control landscape for a two-level system near the quantum speed limit

The core problem in optimal control theory applied to quantum systems is to determine the temporal shape of an applied field in order to maximize the expected value of some physical observable. The complexity of this procedure is given by the structural and topological features of the quantum contro...
