Abstract

Quantum control of nuclear fusion involves engineering quantum coherences in a nuclear wavepacket to accelerate tunneling through the Coulomb barrier and modifying the analytic structure of the textit{S}-matrix to facilitate long-range reactive capture. We present a three-body fusion reaction which is amenable to quantum control. The main result of the present inquiry is the discovery of an embodied class of ultrafast laser architectures \[Levitt textit{et al.}, U.S. Patent Application No. 17/855,476 (2022)\] which realize solutions to the Schrödinger equation in a logically consistent manner as to that presented in \[Saha textit{et al.}, Mol. Phys. textbf{110}, 9-10 (2012)\]. Further, we provide some necessary (but not necessarily sufficient) conditions for net electrical power production using the optical designs here.
