✦ Synopsis

We use penalty methods coupled with unitary exponential operator methods to solve the optimal control problem for moleo ular time-dependent Schradinger equations involving laser pulse excitations. A stable numerical algorithm is presented which propagates directly from initial states to &en final states. Results are reported for an analytically solvable model for the complete inversion of a three-state system.
