Subspace controllability of bipartite symmetric spin networks under global control

We consider a class of spin networks where each spin in a certain set interacts, via Ising coupling, with a set of central spins, and the control acts simultaneously on all the spins. This is a common situation for instance in NV centers in diamonds, and we focus on the physical case of up to two central spins. Due to the permutation symmetries of the network, the system is not globally controllable but it displays invariant subspaces of the underlying Hilbert space. The system is said to be subspace controllable if it is controllable on each of these subspaces. We characterize the given invariant subspaces and the dynamical Lie algebra of this class of systems and prove subspace controllability in every case.
