1 May 2016 | Abstract: | The technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows
efficient and selective population transfer between quantum states without
suffering loss due to spontaneous emission, was introduced in 1990 (Gaubatz
emph{et al.}, J. Chem. Phys. extbf{92}, 5363, 1990). Since then STIRAP has
emerged as an enabling methodology with widespread successful applications in
many fields of physics, chemistry and beyond. This article reviews the many
applications of STIRAP emphasizing the developments since 2000, the time when
the last major review on the topic was written (Vitanov emph{et al.}, Adv. At.
Mol. Opt. Phys. extbf{46}, 55, 2001). A brief introduction into the theory of
STIRAP and the early applications for population transfer within three-level
systems is followed by the discussion of several extensions to multi-level
systems, including multistate chains and tripod systems. The main emphasis is
on the wide range of applications in atomic and molecular physics (including
atom optics, cavity quantum electrodynamics, formation of ultracold molecules,
precision experiments, etc.), quantum information (including single- and
two-qubit gates, entangled-state preparation, etc.), solid-state physics
(including processes in doped crystals, nitrogen-vacancy centers,
superconducting circuits, etc.), and even some applications in classical
physics (including waveguide optics, frequency conversion, polarization optics,
etc.). Promising new prospects for STIRAP are also presented (including
processes in optomechanics, detection of parity violation in molecules,
spectroscopy of core-nonpenetrating Rydberg states, and population transfer
with X-ray pulses). | Source: | arXiv, 1605.0224 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
