  We derive temporally shaped control pulses for the creation of long-distance
entanglement in disordered spin chains. Our approach is based on a
time-dependent target functional and a time-local control strategy that permits
to ensure that the description of the chain in terms of matrix product states
is always valid. With this approach, we demonstrate that long-distance
entanglement can be created even for substantially disordered interaction
landscapes.
