We develop a coherent control theory for multimode quantum light. It allows us to examine a fundamental problem in quantum optics: What is the optimal pulse form to drive a two-photon-transition? In formulating the question as a coherent control problem, we show that - and quantify how much - the strong frequency quantum correlations of entangled photons enhance the transition compared to shaped classical pulses. In ensembles of collectively driven two-level systems, such enhancement requires non-vanishing interactions
