# Energy minimization in two-level dissipative quantum control: Th e integrable case

• The aim of this contribution is to re ne some of the computations of [6]. The Lindblad equation modelling a two-level dissipative quantum system is investigated. The control can be interpretated as the action of a laser to rotate a molecule in gas phase, or as the e ect of a magnetic eld on a spin 1=2 particle. For the energy cost, normal extremals of the maximum principle are solution to a three-dimensional Hamiltonian with parameters. The analysis is focussed on an integrable submodel which de nes outside singularities a pseudo-Riemannian metric in dimension ve. Complete quadratures are given for this subcase by means of Weierstra elliptic functions. Preliminary computations of cut and conjugate loci are also provided for a two-dimensional restriction using [9].
