The wave packet - a universal quantum object
S. Stenholm, K. -A. Suominen
We summarize the theoretical description of wave packets on molecular energy levels. We review the various quantum mechanical effects which can be studied and the models that can b…
Adiabatic passage by light-induced potentials in molecules
B. M. Garraway, K. -A. Suominen
We present the APLIP process (Adiabatic Passage by Light Induced Potentials) for the adiabatic transfer of a wave packet from one molecular potential to the displaced ground vibrat…
Quantum and Semiclassical Calculations of Cold Atom Collisions in Light Fields
K. -A. Suominen, Y. B. Band, I. Tuvi +2
We derive and apply an optical Bloch equation (OBE) model for describing collisions of ground and excited laser cooled alkali atoms in the presence of near-resonant light. Typicall…
Wave packet dynamics with Bose-Einstein condensates
R. Dum, A. Sanpera, K. -A. Suominen +4
We study wave packet dynamics of a Bose condensate in a periodically shaken trap. Dichotomy, that is, dynamic splitting of the condensate, and dynamic stabilization are analyzed in…
Time-dependent control of ultracold atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates in magnetic traps
N. V. Vitanov, K. -A. Suominen
With radiofrequency fields one can control ultracold atoms in magnetic traps. These fields couple the atomic spin states, and are used in evaporative cooling which can lead to Bose…
Weisskopf-Wigner model for wave packet excitation
Asta Paloviita, Kalle-Antti Suominen, Stig Stenholm
We consider a laser induced molecular excitation process as a decay of a single energy state into a continuum. The analytic results based on Weisskopf-Wigner approach and perturbat…
