Coherence transfer between atomic ground states by the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage.

چکیده
We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate that the atomic coherence can be completely transferred or arbitrarily contributed among the different levels in a four-level atomic (tripod) scheme by a group of coupled pulse sequences. This technique can be applied to the information conversion in slow-light storage, quantum logical gates, and so on, which is based on the atomic coherence effect.

Implementation of Single-Qutrit Quantum Gates via Tripod Adiabatic Passage
We proposed and analyzed implementation of the single-qutrit quantum gates based on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) between magnetic sublevels in atoms coupled by pulsed laser fields. This technique requires only the control of the relative phase of the driving fields but do not involve any dynamical or geometrical phases, which make it independent of the other interaction details: ...
متن کاملAdiabatic creation of coherent superposition states in atomic beams
We describe a technique for creating superpositions of degenerate quantum states, such as are needed for beam splitters used in matter-wave optics, by manipulating the timing of three orthogonally polarized laser beams through which moving atoms (or molecules) pass; motion across the laser beams produces pulses in the atomic rest frame. As illustrated with representative simulations for transit...
متن کاملNuclear coherent population transfer with x-ray laser pulses
Coherent population transfer between nuclear states using x-ray laser pulses is studied. The laser pulses drive two nuclear transitions between three nuclear states in a setup reminding of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage used for atomic coherent population transfer. To compensate for the lack of γ-ray laser sources, we envisage accelerated nuclei interacting with two copropagating or crossed...
متن کاملCoherent transfer of Ultracold Molecules: From weakly to deeply bound
In this thesis I report the coherent transfer of ultracold molecules from weakly to deeply bound states using two different techniques. While these transfers allow the manipulation of the internal quantum state of the molecules, their external state is determined by confining them in an optical lattice. This gives ultimate control over all molecular degrees of freedom and opens the way towards ...
متن کاملRobust Ramsey sequences with Raman adiabatic rapid passage
We present a method for robust timekeeping in which alkali-metal atoms are interrogated in a Ramsey sequence based on stimulated Raman transitions with optical photons. To suppress systematic effects introduced by differential ac Stark shifts and optical intensity gradients, we employ atom optics derived from Raman adiabatic rapid passage (ARP). Raman ARP drives coherent transfer between the al...
