Nesta dissertação nós revisamos a teoria básica que descreve a junção Josephson bosônica para uma e duas espécies partindo do modelo de Bose-Hubbard. Em seguida explicamos como é possível gerar campos de calibe artificiais em um sistema de átomos neutros, como é o caso do condensado de Bose-Einstein. Finalmente, utilizando os conhecimentos teóricos desenvolvidos anteriormente nós buscamos os estados estacionários de um sistema de pseudospin 1/2 submetido a um campo de calibre não-Abeliano artificial, que torna a dinâmica da junção muito mais complexa e rica. Nós também exploramos um novo desbalanceamento de população que surge no sistema, devido a presença do campo de calibre, com características similares as do Macroscopic Quantum Self-Trapping. / In this dissertation we review the basic theory that describes the bosonic Josephson junction for one and two species using the Bose-Hubbard model. Afterwards, we explain how it is possible to generate artificial gauge fields for neutral atoms, like a Bose-Einstein condensate. Finally, using this theoretical background we search for stationary states of a pseudospin 1/2 system subject to a non-Abelian artificial gauge field which turns the dynamic of the junction much more complex and rich. We also explore a possible new populational imbalance that appears on the system due to the presence of the gauge field, with similar features as the Macroscopic Quantum Self-Trapping.

L’objectif de cette thèse est d’appliquer la théorie du contrôle optimal à la dynamique de systèmes quantiques. Le premier point consiste à introduire dans le domaine du contrôle quantique des outils de contrôle optimal initialement développés en mathématique. Cette approche a ensuite été appliquée sur différent types de systèmes quantiques décrit par une grande ou une petite dimension. La première partie du manuscrit introduit les différents outils de contrôles utilisés avec une approche adaptée à un public de physiciens. Dans la seconde partie, ces techniques sont utilisées pour contrôler la dynamique des spins en RMN et IRM. La troisième partie s’intéresse au développement de nouveaux algorithmes itératifs de contrôle optimal appliqués au contrôle par champ laser de la dynamique rotationnelle des molécules linéaires en phases gazeuse ainsi qu’au développement d’une stratégie de contrôle simple permettant de délocaliser une molécule dans un plan. La quatrième partie traite le contrôle en temps minimum d’un condensat de Bose-Einstein à deux composantes. La dernière partie permet de comparer qualitativement et quantitativement les différentes méthodes de contrôle optimal utilisées. Les seconde et troisième parties ont également bénéficier de l’implémentation expérimentale des solutions de contrôle optimal obtenues. / The goal of this thesis is to apply the optimal control theory to the dynamics of quantum systems.The first part aim at introducing the tools of optimal control in quantum control which were initially developedin mathematics. This approch has been applied on different kinds of quantum system with small and largedimensions. The first part of this manuscript introduces the optimal control tools which are used with a pointof view suited to a public of physicists. In the second part these techniques are used to control the dynamics ofspins in NMR and MRI. The third part deals with the development of new iterative algorithms applied to thecontrol by laser fields of the rotational dynamics of linear molecules in a gaz phases and the development of asimple control strategy allowing to delocalize a molecule in a plan. The fourth part treats the time-minimumcontrol of a two-component Bose Einstein condensate. The last part compares the different optimal controlmethods used qualitatively and quantitatively. The solution found in the second and third parts have been alsoapplied experimentally.
