Topological Defects in Ferromagnetic, Antiferromagnetic and Cyclic Spinor Condensates -- A Homotopy Theory
Yunbo Zhang, Harri Mäkelä, Kalle-Antti Suominen
We apply the homotopy group theory in classifying the topological defects in atomic spin-1 and spin-2 Bose-Einstein condensates. The nature of the defects depends crucially on the…

Improved efficiency of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate
Matt Mackie, Kari Harkonen, Anssi Collin +2
We theoretically examine Raman photoassociation of a Bose-Einstein condensate, revisiting stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP). Due to collisional mean-field shifts, efficie…

Creation of coherent atomic superpositions by fractional STIRAP
N. V. Vitanov, K. -A. Suominen, B. W. Shore
We discuss a simple scheme for preparing atoms and molecules in an arbitrary preselected coherent superposition of quantum states. The technique, which we call fractional stimulate…
