Open Quantum Systems Driven by Chirped Pulses: Quantized versus Semiclassical Fields and the Validity of the Rotating-Wave Approximation

Justin Zhengjie Tan, Frank Großmann, Yiying Yan +2

Population transfer via chirped rapid adiabatic passage is studied using open quantum and semiclassical models, with and without the rotating-wave approximation. A time-dependent v…
