We are submitting this proposal to request NSF support for a Quantum Control SummerSchool, to be held 8-14 August 2005 at the California Institute of Technology. Thisschool is being organized in response to burgeoning interest among physicists, engineersand applied mathematicians in exploring the principles and applications of control insystems whose behavior is manifestly quantum mechanical. The lectures will be addressedmainly to graduate students and senior researchers who are just getting started in thefield, but will include some advanced presentations to provide some perspective onresearch frontiers. We have already secured seed funding for the summer school fromCaltech's initiative in Information Science and Technology, but we are seeking additionalsupport from government agencies including the NSF and AFOSR.Intellectual merit: Control theory is a central discipline in modern engineering, but sofar there has been only preliminary research on extending its constitutive methodologiesto incorporate quantum dynamics and measurement. Applications areas for quantum controltheory range from protein structure determination to precision measurement and metrology,and deep connections have been identified with the field of quantum computation. Weanticipate that this summer school can play a critical role in stimulating the developmentof quantum control, as it has the enthusiastic support of important constituencies incontrol theory, mathematical physics, atomic physics, quantum optics and condensed matterphysics.Broader impact: This summer school will provide a unique educational experience for bothstudents and senior researchers who attend. Its topic is inherently interdisciplinary andhas sufficiently strong intellectual appeal to draw the attention of leading researchersin both engineering and pure physics. It seems reasonable to hope that events of thiskind will spur a synthesis of quantum physics, dynamical systems theory and probabilitytheory in the same way that early workshops on quantum computation facilitated thedevelopment of a common language for physicists and computer scientists.

我们提出该提案，要求NSF支持2005年8月8日至14日在加利福尼亚理工学院举行的量子控制夏季学校。为了响应物理学家的兴趣，工程师和应用数学家在探索行为显然是量子机械的控制的原理和应用时，正在组织这家学院。这些讲座将针对刚刚在菲尔德开始的研究生和高级研究人员致辞，但将包括一些高级演示文稿，以提供一些视角。我们已经为来自加尔特技术的暑期学校获得了种子资金，但我们正在寻求来自NSF和AFOSR在内的政府机构的额外支持。Intlectual的功绩：控制理论是现代工程学的中心学科，但是Sofar的一项旨在扩展其组成型Modegolate Modynate Dynamerics and Dynamilics和Sofar仅进行了研究。量子控制理论的应用领域范围从蛋白质结构确定到精确测量和计量学，以及与量子计算领域的深入连接。 Weanticipate，今年暑期学校可以在刺激量子控制的开发中发挥关键作用，因为它对重要组成部分的热情支持了对照理论，数学物理学，原子质物理学，量子光学和凝结的Matterphysics。它的主题本质上是跨学科的Andhas足够强烈的智力吸引力，可以引起工程和纯物理学领先的研究人员的关注。希望这种能态的事件将刺激量子物理学，动力学系统理论和概率理论的综合，就像早期关于量子计算的研讨会相同的方式促进了物理学家和计算机科学家的通用语言的开发。
