OPTIMAL DYNAMIC DISCRIMINATION OF SIMILAR MOLECULAR SCALE SYSTEMS USING FUNCTIONAL DATA

摘要

Techniques for molecular scale discrimination using functional data are provided. A method for molecular scale discrimination using functional data can include, for example, (a) applying a control pulse to excite one or more molecular species in a molecular scale system, (b) collecting functional data for an observable variable from the molecular scale system after the control pulse is applied in (a), (c) adjusting the control pulse under the control of a closed loop controller, for dynamically discriminating one of a plurality of molecular species in the molecular scale system from another molecular species in the molecular scale system, and repeating (a) and (b) with the. adjusted control pulse, and (d) discriminating the one molecular species from the other molecular species in the molecular scale system, by using the collected functional data.
