Perfect stimulated Raman adiabatic passage with imperfect finite-time pulses

Abstract

We present a well-tailored sequence of two Gaussian-pulsed drives that achieves perfect population transfer in STImulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP). We give a theoretical analysis of the optimal truncation and relative placement of the Stokes and pump pulses. Further, we obtain the power and the duration of the protocol for a given pulse width. Importantly, the duration of the protocol required to attain a desired value of fidelity depends only logarithmically on the infidelity. Subject to optimal truncation of the drives and with reference to the point of fastest transfer, we obtain a new adiabaticity criteria, which is remarkably simple and effective.
