In continuation of our previous work investigating the possibility of the use of the Level Set Method in quantum control, we here present some numerical results for a Morse potential. We find that a proper treatment of the Morse potential eigenfunctions and eigenvalues for the case of a system with a small number of bound energy levels, the anharmonic perturbative approximation is actually invalid. We, therefore, use a Runge-Kutta integration method that gives more plausible results. We also calculate the dipole moment for the transitions between the two levels with our eigenfunctions and find that there is a critical depth of the potential. Finally we find the level sets giving equal expectation values of the energy, and comment on the unitary operators needed to make transitions from any level set to another.
