Title:

Sub-Riemannian Geometry and Applications to Quantum Control

Abstract:

Sub-Riemannian geometry is a rich subject with many applications in geometric control theory. In this talk I describe two interesting problems: finding invariants and geodesics of sub-Riemannian Engel four-manifolds, and geodesic equations for a sub-Riemannian structure on SO(4) with applications to NMR quantum control.
