Multi-polarization quantum control of rotational motion Controllability Background on controllability criteria Controllability A system is controllable if for two arbitrary points Ψ 1 and Ψ 2 on the unit sphere (or other ensemble of admissible states) it can be steered from Ψ 1 to Ψ 2 with an admissible control. Norm conservation : controllability is equivalent, up to a phase, to say that the projection to a target is = 1.
