This paper provides rigorous definitions and analysis of the dynamics of weakly-coupled systems and gives sufficient conditions for an infinite dimensional quantum control system to be weakly-coupled. As an illustration we provide examples chosen among common physical systems.
In this paper we prove an approximate controllability result for the bilinear Schrodinger equation. This result requires less restrictive non-resonance hypotheses on the spectrum of the uncontrolled Schrodinger operator than those present in the lite
rature. The control operator is not required to be bounded and we are able to extend the controllability result to the density matrices. The proof is based on fine controllability properties of the finite dimensional Galerkin approximations and allows to get estimates for the $L^{1}$ norm of the control. The general controllability result is applied to the problem of controlling the rotation of a bipolar rigid molecule confined on a plane by means of two orthogonal external fields.
