This paper bridges the gap between linear quadratic solution and pole placement providing a simple criterion sucht that the resulting optimal gain places the closed loop eigenvalues at desired locations. The method has the capability of shifting both the real and imaginary parts of the open loop poles to any desired positions in the s-plane.
