Main scientific domain of the PhD: Mathematics and Applications
Secondary scientific domain of the PhD: Spin dynamics and applications to quantum computing
Scientific Project Description:
Dynamics of controlled spins in NMR has applications in medical imaging and quantum computing. The Maximum Principle leads to the study of Hamiltonian systems. A preliminary step is to compute first integrals and to characterize integrability properties. We are then interested to study the following objects related to the optimality of the solutions: geometric calculation of conjugate and cut loci.
Required knowledge and skills: Knowledge in dynamical systems and optimal control.
