Adiabatic transfer of population in five-level system in the absence of four-photon resonance

Abstract

The influence of the nonzero four-photon detuning on the adiabatic transfer of population in five-level system has been studied both analytically and numerically. The estimations determining the permissible variation of the four-photon detuning have been obtained, which are well confirmed by numerical calculations.

Influence of multiphoton detunings from resonance on adiabatic processes in a five-level system

E. A. Gazazyan, G. G. Grigoryan

The Schrödinger equation for a five-level system has been analyzed numerically for different values of multiphoton detuning from exact resonances. The range of admissible deviations for which the effect of multiphoton detunings on the eigenstate of the interaction Hamiltonian imitating a three-level system is insignificant has been determined. The effective population transfer and the possibility of double storage of optical information have been demonstrated.

Excitation of Rydberg states of atoms by adiabatic transfer of populations

E. A. Gazazyan, G. G. Grigoryan, V. O. Chaltykyan

We introduce the adiabatic interaction of five-level ladder-type system with four laser pulses provided that all three two-photon detunings are equal to zero. The analytical expressions for a quasi-energy of the system under consideration and the adiabatic condition of interaction are derived. The process of effective adiabatic excitation of such a system that can be successfully applied to obtain the Rydberg atoms is analysed.

Stability of Adiabatic States in a Dissipative Three-Level System

E. A. Gazazyan, Grigoryan, Gayane G., Vanush Paturyan

The necessary and sufficient conditions for the stability of adiabatic states in three-level quantum systems are investigated analytically and numerically. Various possible configurations of three-level systems under exact two-photon resonance are considered. It is shown that in all these schemes, the lifetime of the studied states is determined by the dephasing time between levels that are not connected by a dipole transition. An efficient population transfer through the b-state at room temperature is demonstrated despite relatively long relaxation times. It is also demonstrated that, in case of large one-photon detuning, the so-called b-state has the same lifetime as that of the dark state. The evolution of adiabatic states for arbitrary values of single-photon detunings has been studied numerically.

Population transfer with delayed pulses in four-state systems

J. Oreg, Klaas Bergmann, Bruce W. Shore +1 more

We present explicit analytic expressions for adiabatic dressed states which, in suitable limits, produce complete population transfer between initial and final states of a four-state excitation chain without ever placing appreciable population into intermediate states. The population-transfer scheme is a generalization of the three-state stimulated Raman adiabatic passage that makes use of counterintuitive pulse sequences. We demonstrate analytically and numerically that the four-state system differs in a very significant qualitative way from previously studied N-state systems with odd N. In particular, we find that the presence of modest detuning from single-photon resonance is critical to the success of population transfer.

Pulse propagation, population transfer, and light storage in five-level media

G. G. Grigoryan, V. O. Chaltykyan, E. A. Gazazyan +2 more

We consider adiabatic interaction of five-level atomic systems and their media with four short laser pulses under the condition of all two-photon detunings being zero. We derive analytical expressions for eigenvalues of the system's Hamiltonian and determine conditions of adiabaticity for both the atom and the medium. We analyze, in detail, the system's behavior when the eigenvalue with nonvanishing energy is realized. As distinct from the usual dark state of a five-level system (corresponding to zero eigenvalue), which is a superposition of three states, in our case the superposition of four states does work. We demonstrate that this seemingly unfavorable case nevertheless completely imitates a three-level system not only for a single atom but also in the medium, since the propagation equations are also split into those for three- and two-level media separately. We show that, under certain conditions, all the coherent effects observed in three-level media, such as population transfer, light slowing, light storage, and so on, may efficiently be realized in five-level media. This has an important advantage that the light storage can be performed twice in the same medium; i.e., the second pulse can be stored without retrieving the first one, and then the two pulses can be retrieved in any desired sequence.

Optimal control of population transfer in multi-level systems by dynamical quantum geometric tensor

Guan-Qiang Li, Yu-Qi Zhang, Hao Guo +3 more

The optimal control of population transfer for multi-level systems is investigated from the perspective of quantum geometry. Firstly, the general theoretical framework of optimizing the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) scheme based on the dynamical quantum geometric tensor is given, and then the dynamical quantum geometric tensor and the nonadiabatic transition rate are calculated by taking the detuned $Λ$-type three-level system and tripod-type four-level system for example. Secondly, the transfer dynamics of the particle population of the system are investigated in detail. For a three-level system, the optimal STIRAP scheme has an efficiency of over 98\% in transferring the population to the final state, while the transfer efficiency of traditional STIRAP is about 72\%. The superposition states with arbitrary proportions can be efficiently prepared for a four-level system due to the decoupling of the degenerate dark states. Finally, the influences of system parameters, such as the operation time of the Rabi pulses, the amplitude fluctuation and the single-photon detuning, on the transfer process are discussed. Especially, the phenomenon of the adiabatic resonance transfer is revealed. Choosing the pulse parameters in the resonance window can reduce the infidelity of the population transfer to below $10^{-3}$. It is found that the optimal STIRAP scheme by the dynamical quantum geometric tensor provides faster and more efficient transfer than the traditional STIRAP scheme.
