Selective and efficient control of coherent population transfer with time-separated chirped pulses III) Conclusions: We proposed a selective, efficient, and robust way to realize control of coherent population transfer in a ?-type four-level scheme by merging STIRAP, TCC, and CHIRAP techniques. An arbitrary coherent superposition between the intermediate state and either of the final doublet, or between the final doublet can be created by varying the pulses chirping rates, or by tuning the time delay or one-photon detuning of the Stokes pulses . This method combines the properties of efficiency and robustness of STIRAP, selectivity and robustness of CHIRAP, and flexibility and selectivity of TCC, and holds the ability to “control with control”, which has potential applications in coherent control of chemical reactions and quantum information processing.

China 2010.05.03 I) Background II) Our work Selective and efficient control of coherent population transfer with time-separated chirped pulses III) Conclusions Outline Coherently controlling population transfer from an initial state to a target state and creating an arbitrary coherent superposition between two states has attracted considerable interest in recent years. Three main methods have been proposed and employed: 1) Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) ; 2) Chirped adiabatic passage (CHIRAP) ; 3) Temporal coherent control (TCC) I) Background The simplest and most extensively-studied model is the ?-type three-level system. STIRAP has proven to be an efficient and robust technique for selective and complete coherent population transfer between two discrete atomic or molecular states. (K. Bergmann, H. Theuer, and B. W.
