Dionisis Stefanatos, Heinz Schaettler, and Jr-Shin Li

TL;DR
This paper formulates frictionless atom cooling in harmonic traps as a time-optimal control problem and derives optimal trajectories to achieve rapid cooling without friction.
Contribution
It introduces a novel control-theoretic framework for minimum-time frictionless atom cooling in harmonic traps.
Findings
Optimal control trajectories for frictionless cooling are characterized.
A synthesis of control strategies for rapid cooling is provided.
Abstract
