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

Gauge fields are central in our modern understanding of physics at all scales. At the highest
energy scales known, the microscopic universe is governed by particles interacting with …

Arrays of optically trapped atoms excited to Rydberg states have recently emerged as a
competitive physical platform for quantum simulation and computing, where high-fidelity …

When a neutral atom moves in a properly designed laser field, its center-of-mass motion
may mimic the dynamics of a charged particle in a magnetic field, with the emergence of a …

This book deals with applications in several areas of science and technology that make use
of light which carries orbital angular momentum. In most practical scenarios, the angular …

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 …

Quantum computing and quantum simulation can be implemented by concatenation of one-
and two-qubit gates and interactions. For most physical implementations, however, it may be …

STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) is a powerful laser-based method, usually
involving two photons, for efficient and selective transfer of populations between quantum …

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) …

We show that the adiabatic motion of ultracold, multilevel atoms in spatially varying laser
fields can give rise to effective non-Abelian gauge fields if degenerate adiabatic eigenstates …
