Abstract
We propose an analysis of the time-optimal control of SU(2) quantum operations. By using the Pontryagin maximum principle, we show how to determine the optimal trajectory for reaching a given target state. Explicit analytical solutions are given for two specific examples. We discuss the role of the detuning in the construction of the optimal synthesis.
