Speeding Up Particle Slowing using Shortcuts to Adiabaticity
John P. Bartolotta, Jarrod T. Reilly, Murray J. Holland
We propose a method for slowing particles by laser fields that potentially has the ability to generate large forces without the associated momentum diffusion that results from the…

Sawtooth Wave Adiabatic Passage in a Magneto-Optical Trap
John P. Bartolotta, Murray J. Holland
We investigate theoretically the application of Sawtooth Wave Adiabatic Passage (SWAP) in a 1D magneto-optical trap (MOT). As opposed to related methods that have been previously d…

Laser Cooling by Sawtooth Wave Adiabatic Passage
John P. Bartolotta, Matthew A. Norcia, Julia R. K. Cline +2
We provide a theoretical analysis for a recently demonstrated cooling method. Two-level particles undergo successive adiabatic transfers upon interaction with counter-propagating l…
