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

The authors discuss the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), a
method of using partially overlap** pulses (from pump and Stokes lasers) to produce …

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 …

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) …

Attosecond transient absorption is one of the promising new techniques being developed to
exploit the availability of sub-femtosecond extreme ultraviolet (XUV) pulses to study the …

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 …

We review the principles and some recent advances in the theory of coherent control of
molecular processes and discuss some of its experimental realizations. Amongst the topics …

Since the early days of modern atomic, molecular, and optical physics researchers have
continually improved techniques that can force an ensemble of particles into a desired …

Laser-driven recollision physics is typically accessible only at field intensities high enough
for tunnel ionization. Using an extreme ultraviolet pulse for ionization and a near-infrared …

Abstract Sir Peter Knight is a pioneer in quantum optics which has now grown to an
important branch of modern physics to study the foundations and applications of quantum …
