Abstract

We present how to control the bilinear 1D infinite-dimensional Schrödinger equations in inhomogeneous media (with x-dependent coefficients), getting the approximate stabilization around ground state. Our arguments are based on constructing a Lyapunov function and a strategy similar to LaSalle invariance principle.
