Liouvillian of the Open STIRAP Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
With the corresponding Liouvillian as a starting point, we demonstrate two seemingly new phenomena of the STIRAP problem when subjected to irreversible losses. It is argued that both of these can be understood from an underlying Zeno effect, and in particular both can be viewed as if the environment assists the STIRAP population transfer. The first of these is found for relative strong dephasing, and, in the language of the Liouvillian, it is explained from the explicit form of the matrix generating the time-evolution; the coherence terms of the state decay off, which prohibits further population transfer. For pure dissipation, another Zeno effect is found, where the presence of a non-zero Liouvillian gap protects the system’s (adiabatic) state from non-adiabatic excitations. In contrast to full Zeno freezing of the evolution, which is often found in many problems without explicit time-dependence, here, the freezing takes place in the adiabatic basis such that the system still evolves but adiabatically.

Liouvillian First Integrals of Differential Equations
Liouvillian functions are functions that are built up from rational functions using exponentiation, integration, and algebraic functions. We show that if a system of differential equations has a generic solution that satisfies a liouvillian relation, that is, there is a liouvillian function of several variables vanishing on the curve defined by this solution, then the system has a liouvillian f...
متن کاملLiouvillian Solutions of Linear Differential Equations with Liouvillian Coefficients
Let L(y) = b be a linear differential equation with coefficients in a differential field K. We discuss the problem of deciding if such an equation has a non-zero solution in K and give a decision procedure in case K is an elementary extension of the field of rational functions or is an algebraic extension of a transcendental liouvillian extension of the field of rational functions. We show how ...
متن کاملBose-stimulated raman adiabatic passage in photoassociation
We analyze coherent two-color photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate, focusing on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in free-bound-bound transitions from atoms to molecules. This problem raises an interest because STIRAP has been predicted to be absent in the nondegenerate case [Javanainen and Mackie, Phys. Rev. A 58, R789 (1998)]. Nevertheless, we find that Bose stimulation en...

The integrability problem consists in finding the class of functions a first integral of a given planar polynomial differential system must belong to. We recall the characterization of systems which admit an elementary or Liouvillian first integral. We define Weierstrass integrability and we determine which Weierstrass integrable systems are Liouvillian integrable. Inside this new class of inte...
متن کاملOn Motion Planning for Robotic Manipulation with Permanent Rolling Contacts
We address the motion planning problem (open-loop trajectory design) for manipulating rigid bodies with permanent rolling contact without slipping. This problem is related in particular to dextrous manipulation with robotic hands, consisting in changing the position and orientation of the manipulated object together with its grasp. We prove the flatness property for planar structures allowing t...
