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

Coherent preparation by laser light of quantum states of atoms and molecules can lead to
quantum interference in the amplitudes of optical transitions. In this way the optical …

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 …

An ideal and reversible transfer technique for the quantum state between light and
metastable collective states of matter is presented and analyzed in detail. The method is …

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) …

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 discuss the properties of a simple and robust scheme for preparing atoms and
molecules in an arbitrary preselected coherent superposition of quantum states-fractional …

We derive STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) shortcuts to adiabaticity
maximizing population transfer in a three-level Λ quantum system, using spin-to-spring …

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

We present the process of adiabatic passage by light-induced potentials for transferring a
wave packet from one molecular potential to the displaced ground vibrational state of …
