Abstract

Considering all the ground-state atom interactions,we investigate the population transfer of two Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) states,which are trapped in diffecent potential wells,or two ground states of the BEC in the same trap using the stimulated Raman adiabatic process.With a proper choice of pulsed geometric parameters,the dark state exists.By simply choosing ground-state detunings,the effects of the interatomic interaction can be suppressed and a high population transfer rate can be obtained.

Nonadiabatic effects on population transfer of two Bose-Einstein condensates induced by atomic interaction

Zhengfeng Hu, Chunguang Du, Shiqun Li

We investigate the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage for Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) states which are trapped in different potential wells or two ground states of BEC in the same trap. We consider that lasers are nearly resonant with the atomic transitions. The difference of population transfer processes between BEC atoms and usual atoms is that the atomic interaction of the BEC atoms can cause some nonadiabatic effects, which may degrade the process. But with suitable detunings of laser pulses, the effects can be remedied to some extent according to different atomic interactions.

Complete population transfer between two Bose-Einstein condensates induced by nonlinear laser coupling

Noriaki Tsukada

We investigate atomic population dynamics of two Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) states that are in different traps or in the same trap and are optically coupled through a common excited state by Raman laser pulses. For large interatomic interactions, almost all of the atoms that are initially in one of the traps (or one of the internal states) are either completely transferred into the other state or stay in the initially occupied state after the laser pulses, and the atoms (populations) are never distributed to both condensate states at the same time. Applications to the atomic logic gate and to output couplers of the atom laser are pointed out.

STIRAP schemes for atomic Bose-Einstein condensates

Andreas M. D. Thomasen, Tim Byrnes

In coherent control of Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) the major limitation to successful high fidelity transfer using optical Raman transitions is spontaneous emission of radiation and the decoherence that this causes. We present a scheme based on stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) designed specifically for Rubidium 87. STIRAP is a method of population transfer that relies on the adiabatic theorem of quantum mechanics. Instead of transferring population between Hamiltonian ground states, one adiabatically evolves the ground states into some desired superposition. We show that one may thereby implement arbitrary rotations of spinor BECs with extremely high fidelities. Our simulations show that given a BEC with N = 10 4 atoms, we may do an arbitrary unitary rotation with an infidelity of about 10 -7 that takes approximately 100 ns.

Coherent population transfer between hyperfine ground states of a 87 Rb Bose-Einstein condensate by microwave-stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

Sylvain Schwartz, Matthieu Dupont-Nivet, Christoph Ira Westbrook

Microwave-stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) between internal states of a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) magnetically trapped in the vicinity of an atom chip is demonstrated by coherently transferring about 90 percent of a 7.000-atom BEC initially in the (F=2,mF=2) hyperfine level of the 5 2S1/2 ground state of 87Rb into (F=2,mF=1), using (F=1,mF=1) as an intermediate (unpopulated) level. The STIRAP protocol used in this experiment is robust to external perturbations as it is an adiabatic transfer, and power efficient as it involves only resonant (or quasi-resonant) processes. Taking into account the effect of losses and collisions in a Bloch equations model, we show that the maximum transfer efficiency is obtained for significantly non-zero values of the one- and two-photon detunings, which is confirmed quantitatively by our experimental measurements (and is shown to come mostly from inelastic collisions within (F=2,mF=1)). This work shows that microwave STIRAP between hyperfine ground states of magnetically trapped atoms is feasible, paving the way for STIRAP-based quantum information or metrology experiments integrated on a chip.
