Coherent optimal control by tailored strong-field laser pulses

5 Coherent optimal control by tailored strong-field laser pulses 

As before, the essence of coherent control by a strong laser field consists in transferring the molecular system at hand from the initial state F)into the desired final state Ff). This should be achieved by means of a tailored electric field, A(t), that enters into the Schrodinger equation 

The next important question is whether applications exist where the coherent laser control of molecular reactions offers special advantages (e g. new products or
