The study of quantum system dynamics and biosystem dynamics have generally developed as distinct subjects with their own scientific issues, technical aspects and applications. However, when these subjects are considered in the context of controlling their respective dynamical behavior many common conceptual threads and even algorithms for operation become apparent by their linkage to systems analysis. These common operational features exist despite the fact that quantum systems and biosystems operate on vastly different temporal and spatial scales. In the case of quantum systems, manipulation of their dynamics may be affected by ultrafast shaped laser pulses while in the case of biosystems genetic and molecular engineering as well as applied chemical fluxes can play analogous roles. The presentation will be given in two parts respectively on quantum system and biosystem dynamics, with an attempt at the end to draw attention to their common features.
