Important:No excitations at the end!

Transport of an atom in a harmonic trap (e.g. an optical trap):



Transport of an atom in a harmonic trap (e.g. an optical trap):

Possibility: Do it slow:Adiabatic Transport

Adiabatic Theorem in Quantum Mechanics:

The desired final ground state will be exactly achievedif the trap will be moved infinitely slow.



Adiabatic transport:

Example: duration of transport: t = 4000 ms






Advantage: Very robustDisadvantage: Very slow

Adiabatic Schemes:

Shortcut to Adiabaticity

Goal: New Methods for a fast and stable manipulation of atomic states

Project 1


Project 1Shortcuts for Trap Transports along Curved Lines

(Numerical, long or short)

Question: How about transport of traps along curved lineswithout excitations????

- resonant pulses (pi, pi/2, etc…)

fast but unstable

- adiabatic passage methods (RAP, STIRAP..)

robust but slow

In general we would like fast & robust processes

=> speeded-up adiabatic methods

Internal State Control

Two major routes to control internal state(for example population inversion 1 -> 2):

Goal: Manipulate the internal state of cold atoms
