This note presents a positive approximate controllability result for a bilinear quantum system modeling a chemical bond. The main difficulties are due to the presence of a continuous spectrum part for the uncontrolled Hamiltonian (modeled by a Morse potential) and the unboundedness of the interaction potential (dipolar interaction). The proof is based on averaging technique and spectral analysis.
