We experimentally achieve two-photon photoemission localization and switching on a subwavelength scale in plasmonic nanoantennas. Complex polarization-shaped laser pulses which are found in adaptive optimizations control the linear response of the nanostructure. We consider previous analytic investigations to identify the interference of two excited modes in the nanostructure as the main control mechanism. The optimal pulse shapes for switching are then found deterministically. Adaptive and analytic control schemes are compared, and agreement between both approaches is demonstrated.
