  Quantum spin networks form a generic system to describe a range of quantum
devices for quantum information processing and sensing applications.
Understanding how to control them is essential to achieve devices with
practical functionalities. Energy landscape shaping is a novel control paradigm
to achieve selective transfer of excitations in a spin network with
surprisingly strong robustness towards uncertainties in the Hamiltonians. Here
we study the effect of decoherence, specifically generic pure dephasing, on the
robustness of these controllers. Results indicate that while the effectiveness
of the controllers is reduced by decoherence, certain controllers remain
sufficiently effective, indicating potential to find highly effective
controllers without exact knowledge of the decoherence processes.
