This paper reviews recent theoretical and experimental developments aimed at controlling molecular motion using tailored laserfields. Emphasis is given to seeking optimal designs for the lasercontrols and optimal implementation of the controls in thelaboratory. Optimization on both counts provides a rigorous,flexible, and physically attractive means for obtaining the bestpossible control over molecular motion under any specifiedconditions. The theoretical design and laboratory implementationof control are best effected by a closed-loop process that draws onobservations of the evolving molecular sample to steer it towardthe desired target. Going beyond control, similar closed-looplaboratory learning concepts may lead to automated molecularmonitors for inversion to systematically identify details of molecularHamiltonians.
