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 …

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

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

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 …

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 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 review theoretical work in the field of “coherent control”(CC) of bound-and continuum-
state dynamics. We explain the principles of bichromatic and polychromatic control and …
