Abstract
Since the advent of quantum mechanics there has been a desire to understand in detail the behavior of quantum systems. This quest has been accompanied by the implicit dream to not only be able to observe in a passive way, but in fact also to actively control quantum-mechanical processes. The key question in quantum control is: Can one find external control parameters which guide the temporal evolution of quantum-mechanical systems in a desired way, even if this evolution is very complex?
