Quantum Control Of Radical Pair Reactions By Local Optimization Theory

Recently, AWG (arbitrary waveform generator) based pulse electron paramagnetic resonance and nuclear magnetic resonance have been developed in a high field regime for the improvement of sensitivity and selectivity and quantum information processing. Here, we propose the application of AWG based reaction control of radical pairs in a rather low magnetic field regime. We calculated the locally optimized radio frequency (RF) field with the control theory by Sugawara [J. Chem. Phys. 118(15), 6784-6800 (2003)]. The calculation results manifest the applicability of AWG-RF fields to reaction control (reaction yield detected magnetic resonance), stimulated nuclear polarization, magnetic isotope selection, and coherent control of the spin dynamics.
