Optimal Control of Quantum Systems and a Generalized Level Set Method
  We study the application of a generalized form of the level set method used in classical physical contexts to quantum optimal control situations. The set of OCT equations needed to keep the expectation value of an observable constant is first discussed and the dimensionality of the actual parameter space carefully considered. Then we see how concepts of level set methods emerge that may help solve the inverse problem associated with designing the control Hamiltonian with greater speed. The formal equations and the algorithm are presented.
