Circular states of Rydberg atoms, those with maximum projection of the electron angular momentum, have proven extremely useful in quantum sensing and quantum computation. The aim of this work is to achieve a superposition of the two opposite circular states in the same atom, with +mlmax and −mlmax. The corresponding non-classical state would serve as a great starting point for quantum-enhanced measurement of magnetic fields. While elusive at first glance due to the need for a double circularization process, this objective presents an interesting and challenging control problem. To tackle this goal, we use optimal control theory in order to obtain shaped radio-frequency pulses that minimize both the time needed and the error made during the process.
