An hybrid quantum-classical algorithm for an optimal population transfer problem for a molecule subject to a laser pulse has been developed. In particular, the evolution of the molecular wavefunction is simulated on a quantum computer, while the laser pulse is iteratively shaped via a evolutionary algorithm. Performance on a Noisy Intermediate-Scale Quantum device has been investigated.
