This is a set of detailed notes that are part of a Ph.D. Course on Quantum Control delivered at the Department of Chemistry of Seoul National University in 2014. Part of this course was also taught in the Department of Chemistry of the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. It focuses on quantum optimal control and quantum optimal control algorithms based on the gradient and extended gradient methods.

This Fermi Summer School of Physics on Experimental Quantum Information and Computing represents a primer in an expanding area in physics. In this part, the interest in quantum information (QI) science is due to the discovery that a computer operating on quantum mechanical principles can solve certain important computational problems exponentially faster than any conceivable classical computer. But this interest is also due to the interdisciplinary nature of the field: the rapid growth is attributable, in part, to the stimulating confluence of researchers and ideas from physics, chemistry, mathematics, information theory, and computer science. The lectures cover Quantum Information (QI) processing, spanning quantum optics and laser physics, atomic and molecular physics, physical chemistry, and condensed-matter physics.
