We present the concept and prove a criterion of the approximate strong smooth controllability. Our results make non-trivial extensions from quantum systems with finite dimensional control Lie algebras to those with infinite dimensions. It also opens up many interesting problems for future studies.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v5", "updated": "2005-05-09T20:37:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum mechanical systems", "scattering states", "finite dimensional control lie algebras", "approximate strong smooth controllability" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004quant.ph..9121W" } } }
