contents This paper addresses the problem of averaged controllability for the time-fractional Schrodinger equation, where the quantum diffusivity parameter is a random variable with a general probability distribution. First, by exploiting the analyticity of the Mittag-Leffler function and Muntz's theorem, we show that the simultaneous null controllability of the system can occur only for a countable set of realizations of the random diffusivity. In particular, this implies the impossibility of simultaneous null controllability for absolutely continuous random diffusivity. Next, we prove the lack of exact averaged controllability for absolutely continuous random variables, irrespective of the control time. Furthermore, we introduce a new two-parameter fractional characteristic function, which allows us to construct a class of random variables satisfying null averaged controllability at any time from any arbitrary sensor set of positive Lebesgue measure. This is achieved using an open-loop control belonging to L^\infty and independent of the random parameter. In particular, we obtain the null controllability of the fractional biharmonic diffusion equation. Finally, we conclude with several remarks and open problems that merit future investigation.
