We use three bosons held in a depth-tilt combined-modulated double-well to study coherent control of quantum transitions between quasi-degenerate stationary-like states (QDSLSs) with the same quasienergy. Within the high-frequency approximation and for multiple-resonance conditions, we analytically obtain the different QDSLSs including the maximal bipartite entangled states, which enable us to manipulate the transitions between QDSLSs without the observable multiphoton absorption and to simulate a two-qubit system with the considered bosons. The analytical results are confirmed numerically and good agreement is shown. The quantum transitions between QDSLSs can be observed and controlled by adjusting the initial and the final atomic distributions in the currently proposed experimental setup, and possess potential applications in qubit control based on the bipartite entangled states and in engineering quantum dynamics for quantum information processing.
