This paper discusses the concept of controllable subspace for open quantum dynamical systems.It is constructively demonstrated that combining structural features of decoherence-free subspaces with the ability to perform open-loop coherent control on open quantum systems will allow decoherence-free subspaces to be controllable.This is in contrast to the observation that open quantum dynamical systems are not open-loop controllable.To a certain extent, this paper gives an alternative control theoretical interpretation on why decoherence-free subspaces can be useful for quantum computation.
