Microworld control

There appear to be many ways of approaching the nonlinear microworld control design problem. From the arguments above, we could have postulated the general structure of the CSE with C( F(r), as arbitrary, but consistent with the... 

On the positive side, microworld control has some special attractive features not available in traditional engineering applications. First, the control field duty cycle can be extremely... 

Figure 1 A schematic of an algorithmic learning approach for microworld control realization. The algorithm is initiated by an optimal design estimate o(t) of the control field, followed by its laboratory refinement in a sequence of experiments coupled to a pattern-recognizing learning algorithm...

Although this article addresses general aspects of microworld control, the primary emphasis is towards molecular or chemical control. It was pointed out in the introduction that the field of microworld control has broadened out to encompass a variety of other applications of equal significance. This list includes the creation of quantum computers, controlled solid-state electronics, atom lasers, novel quantum electronic devices and optical materials, as well as possibly other applications. Each of these subjects has its own community of scientists, and unfortunately, there has been little interaction between the groups involved. Some of these communities are actually larger than those involved in chemical reaction control efforts. For example, a quantum...
