Abstract: Transferring the state of a quantum system to a given distribution of populations is an important problem with applications to Quantum Chemistry and Atomic Physics. In this work we consider exact population transfers that minimize the L^2 norm of the control which is typically the amplitude of an electromagnetic field. This problem is analytically and numerically challenging. Except for few exactly solvable cases, there is no general understanding of the nature of optimal controls and trajectories. We find that by examining the limit of large transfer times, we can uncover such general properties. In particular, for transfer times large with respect to the time scale of the free dynamics of the quantum system, the optimal control is a sum of components, each being a Bohr frequency sinusoid modulated by a slow amplitude, i.e. a profile that changes considerably only on the scale of the transfer time. Moreover, we show that the optimal trajectory follows a "mean evolution modulated by the fast free dynamics of the system. The calculation of the "mean optimal trajectory and the slow control profiles is done via an "averaged two-point boundary value problem which we derive and which is much easier to solve than the one expressing the necessary conditions for optimality of the original optimal transfer problem.
