“…This adiabatic transport process is the matter-wave analog of the very well-known quantum optical stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) technique [11], and it is based on adiabatically following an energy eigenstate of the system, the so-called spatial dark state, that, ideally, only involves the vibrational ground states of the two extreme wells. Extensions of these TLAO techniques to atomic wave packets in dipole waveguides [12], to Bose-Einstein condensates [13], to the transport of electrons in quantum-dot systems [14], and to superconductors [15], were performed later. Even very recently, by exploiting the wave analogies between classical and quantum systems, Longhi et al [16] have experimentally reported light transfer in an engineered triple-well optical waveguide by means of the classical analog of the matter-wave STIRAP.…”
