contents The goal of quantum tracking control is to identify shaped fields to steer observable expectation values along designated time-dependent tracks. The fields are determined via an iteration-free procedure, which is based on inverting the underlying dynamical equations governing the controlled observables. In this article, we generalize the ideas in Phys. Rev. A 98, 043429 (2018) to the task of orienting symmetric top molecules in 3D. To this end, we derive equations for the control fields capable of directly tracking the expected value of the 3D dipole orientation vector along a desired path in time. We show this framework can be utilized for tracking the orientation of linear molecules as well, and present numerical illustrations of these principles for symmetric top tracking control problems.
