Abstract

We present ideas for controlling quantum dynamics in a dissipative environment using short, intense laser pulses. The proposed algorithm is an extension of the well-established time-local pump-dump control scheme to the density matrix formalism, using time-dependent targets. This provides a natural framework for guiding the reaction along a desired path. As a test case, the selective photoexcitation of charge transfer and semi-charge-transfer states of the LiCN molecule in a strong dissipative environment is studied.
