Abstract
High-fidelity control of quantum systems is essential for scalable quantum technologies. We introduce a shooting-based quantum optimal control algorithm for systems of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, and demonstrate its performances through numerical simulations on systems inspired from single molecule magnets. Our method efficiently decomposes quantum gates into selective electromagnetic pulses, outperforming the standard GRAPE method against which it is benchmarked, especially in larger Hilbert spaces
