Adiabatic manipulation of the quantum state is an essential tool in modern quantum information processing. Here, we demonstrate the speedup of the adiabatic population transfer in a three-level superconducting transmon circuit by suppressing the spurious nonadiabatic excitations with an additional two-photon microwave pulse. We apply this superadiabatic method to the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, realizing fast and robust population transfer from the ground state to the second excited state of the quantum circuit.

During the STIRAP process, the intermediate levels will have notable population which is detrimental if these levels could decay to other levels through spontaneous emission. Here, we propose a novel method which could reduce the intermediate level population during the STIRAP process. A complete population transfer could be achieved in this modified STIRAP even if the intermediate level could decay to other levels.

Abstract We use optimal control theory to show that for a closed Λ-system where the excited intermediate level decays to the lower levels with a common large rate, the optimal scheme for population transfer between the lower levels is actually optical pumping. In order to obtain this result we exploit the large decay rate to eliminate adiabatically the weakly coupled excited state, then perform a transformation to the basis comprised of the dark and bright states, and finally apply optimal control to this transformed system. Subsequently, we confirm the optimality of the optical pumping scheme for the original closed Λ-system using numerical optimal control. We also demonstrate numerically that optical pumping remains optimal when the decay rate to the target state is larger than that to the initial state or the two rates are not very different from each other. The present work is expected to find application in various tasks of quantum information processing, where such systems are encountered

We study non-resonant two-photon absorption in the B band of Na2 with femtosecond pulses. The computer simulations show attenuated Rabi oscillations using coincident pulses that can be overcome by initially preparing a wave packet in the ground state. Time-delayed pulse sequences intrinsically protect the adiabatic passage of population, but the process can be accelerated starting with the packet.

We investigate theoretically photoluminescence (PL) properties of mono and di-phenyl substituted trans-polyacetylene (t-PA), namely, poly-phenylacetylene (PPA) and poly-diphenylacetylene (PDPA), respectively. PL is a consequence of the occurrence of the two-photon state ( 2Ag ) above the optically excited state ( 1Bu ). Usually, electron correlation leads to confinement of 1Bu as well as the ground state. We show, in contrast, that in phenyl-substituted polyacetylenes electron–electron interactions cause enhanced delocalization of quasiparticles in the optically excited state from the backbone polyene chain into the phenyl groups. This coulomb enhanced delocalization in the transverse direction leads to confinement in the longitudinal direction and causes crossover between the 1Bu and 2Ag . We further show that in the absence of electron repulsion the low energy absorption is x-polarized whereas the high energy absorpion is predominantly y-polarized. In contrast, in presence of many body electron interaction both of them (low and high energy absorptions) are x-polarized. Thus photophysics of PPA/PDPA etc. are consequences of true many body effects.
