 Solution

Density operator controllability cannot defeat unitary invariants: it grants access to the unitary orbit of a density operator, whose members have the same eigenvalues, rather than to every density operator. In the Hilbert-Schmidt inner product orthonormal normalization of this question,Quantum Hamiltonian evolution preserves this norm, so the target is not reachable from the stated initial state. Equivalently, their values of purity of a density operator are $1/2+1/4=3/4$ and $1/2+1/2=1$: the initial state is a mixed state and the target a pure state. Dissipation, an appropriate measurement protocol or an auxiliary system with additional resources would be needed to change the spectrum; freely controlling the closed-system Quantum Hamiltonian alone does not suffice.
