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

Atoms and molecules have long held interest, first of philosophers who debated their
existence, then by spectroscopists who gained understanding of their internal structure, and …

We present a method for optimization of the technique of adiabatic passage between two
quantum states by composite sequences of frequency-chirped pulses with specific relative …

The procedure of stimulated-Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), one of many well-
established techniques for quantum-state manipulation, finds widespread application in …

Composite pulse sequences, which produce arbitrary predefined rotations of a qubit on the
Bloch sphere, are presented. The composite sequences contain up to 17 pulses and can …

We present in a self‐contained way a set of theoretical tools that allow us to analyze the
quantum dynamics of atoms or molecules driven by laser pulses and to determine pulse …

We propose an approach to coherently transfer populations between selected quantum
states in one-and two-qubit systems by using controllable Stark-chirped rapid adiabatic …

We show that the technique of Stark-chirped rapid adiabatic passage (SCRAP), hitherto
used for complete population transfer between two quantum states, offers a simple and …

We propose schemes of controlled-Z and controlled-not gates with ultracold neutral atoms
based on deterministic phase accumulation during double adiabatic passage of the Stark …

We review methods for coherently controlling Rydberg quantum states of atomic ensembles
using adiabatic rapid passage and stimulated Raman adiabatic passage. These methods …
