Fluctuation-induced stochastic magnetization dynamics plays an important role in magnetic recording and writing. Here we propose that the magnetization dynamics can be optimally controlled by the spin current to minimize or maximize the Freidlin-Wentzell action functional of the system hence to increase or decrease the happening probability of the rare event. We apply this method to study thermal-driven magnetization switching problem and to demonstrate the advantage of the optimal control strategy.
