  Control of open quantum systems is an essential ingredient to the realization
of contemporary quantum science and technology. We demonstrate such control by
employing a thermodynamically consistent framework, taking into account the
fact that the drive can modify the interaction with environment. Such an effect
is incorporated within the dynamical equation, leading to control dependent
dissipation, this relation serves as the key element for open system control.
Thermodynamics of the control process is reflected by a unidirectional flow of
energy to the environment resulting in large entropy production. The control
paradigm is displayed by analyzing entropy changing state to state
transformations, such as heating and cooling. In addition, the generation of
quantum gates under dissipative conditions is demonstrated for both non-unitary
reset maps with complete memory loss and a universal set of single and double
qubit unitary gates.
