Coupled linear Schrödinger equations: control and stabilization results

Abstract

This article presents some controllability and stabilization results for a system of two coupled linear Schrödinger equations in the one-dimensional case where the state components are interacting through the Kirchhoff boundary conditions. Considering the system in a bounded domain, the null boundary controllability result is shown. The result is achieved thanks to a new Carleman estimate, which ensures a boundary observation. Additionally, this boundary observation together with some trace estimates, helps us to use the Gramian approach, with a suitable choice of feedback law, to prove that the system under consideration decays exponentially to zero at least as fast as the function \(e^{-2\omega t}\) for some \(\omega >0\).
