The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

The merging of coherent control (CC) and adiabatic passage (AP) and the type of problems
that can be solved using the resulting coherently controlled adiabatic passage (CCAP) …

Written by two of the world's leading researchers in the field, this is a systematic introduction
to the fundamental principles of coherent control, and to the underlying physics and …

Many branches of contemporary physics require atoms or molecules prepared in specified
quantum states—not only for traditional studies of state-to-state collision dynamics, isotope …

Abstract Superflow of a Bose–Einstein condensate in an optical lattice is represented by a
Bloch wave, a plane wave with periodic modulation of the amplitude. We review the …

The first presentation of the STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) technique with
proper theoretical foundation and convincing experimental data appeared 25 years ago, in …

We investigate adiabatic evolution of quantum states as governed by the nonlinear
Schrödinger equation and provide examples of applications with a nonlinear tunneling …

This paper reviews recent advances in the study of strongly interacting systems of dipolar
molecules. Heteronuclear molecules feature large and tunable electric dipole moments …

We propose the creation of a molecular Bose-Einstein condensate by loading an atomic
condensate into an optical lattice and driving it into a Mott insulator with exactly two atoms …

We report on the creation of ultracold Sr 2 84 molecules in the electronic ground state. The
molecules are formed from atom pairs on sites of an optical lattice using stimulated Raman …
