We investigate optimal states of photon pairs to excite a target transition in a multilevel quantum system. From the optimal control theory of entangled two-photon absorption we infer the maximal population achievable by optimal entangled vs. separable states of light. Interference between excitation pathways, as well as the presence of nearby states, may hamper the selective excitation of a particular target state, but we show that quantum correlations can help overcome this problem, and enhance the achievable “selectivity” between two target energy levels, i.e. the relative difference in population transferred into each of them.
