Introduction
============

DYNAMO is a flexible framework for quantum optimal control algorithms.

Getting started
===============

Initialize the package by running init.m

The best way to learn how to use DYNAMO is to review the demos in the
examples/ directory.


The design is modularized and easily extendable.

DYNAMO attempts to minimize calculations by way of Delayed Calculations.
Whenever a control field is modified, DYNAMO only marks that value as changed,
and the values calculated from it (single-slice exponents, start-to-T and 
T-to-end propagators, etc) as stale. Only when a specific value is needed
(such as the current fidelity), are the calculations performed. At this point
DYNAMO attempts to perform the minimal number of matrix exponentiations and 
multiplications to arrive at the desired result.

See cache.m for the nitty-gritty details.
