Summary

An efficient semiclassical optimal control theory for controlling wavepacket dynamics on a single adiabatic potential energy surface applicable to systems with many degrees of freedom is discussed in detail. The approach combines the advantages of various formulations of the optimal control theory: quantum and classical on the one hand and global and local on the other. The efficiency and reliability of the method are demonstrated, using systems with two and four dimensions as examples.
