Abstract
Currently, quantum technologies are actively developing; these technologies are based on quantum effects in individual quantum systems—atoms or molecules. The mathematical study of problems of control of quantum systems is of particular importance. In this paper, we consider certain problems associated with control of quantum systems: extrema of target functionals for population transfer problems and generation of unitary processes and incoherent control and generation of arbitrary density matrices for open quantum systems.
