Controllability on relaxation-free subspaces: On the relationship between adiabatic population transfer and optimal control

We consider the optimal control problem of transferring population between states of a quantum system where the coupling proceeds only via intermediate states that are subject to decay. We pose the question whether it is generally possible to carry out this transfer. For a single intermediate decayi...
