Using adiabatic coupling techniques in atom-chip waveguide structures

Abstract: Adiabatic techniques are well known tools in multi-level electron systems to transfer population between different states with high fidelity. Recently it has been realised that these ideas can also be used in ultra-cold atom systems to achieve coherent manipulation of the atomic centre-of-mass states. Here we present an investigation into a realistic setup using three atomic waveguides created on top of an atom chip and show that such systems hold large potential for the observation of adiabatic phenomena in e… Show more

“…One of the first experimental systems suggested for observing SAP were optical potentials generated through a microlens array [25]. By illuminating the lenses with reddetuned laser light, ultracold atoms can be trapped in the focus above the lens, with typical trapping frequencies for 87 Rb atoms on the order of 10 5 − 10 6 s −1 in the transverse directions and 10 4 − 10 5 s −1 along the laser beam direction [135,136]. This means that the traps can be adiabatically approached in the millisecond range or even faster by using optimization techniques.…”

“…Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) has been widely studied for population transfer of molecules [39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46], transport of single atoms [47][48][49][50][51][52], electrons [53,54], and BECs [55][56][57][58]. The remarkable properties of this protocol have already been demonstrated in diverse areas such as chemical reaction dynamics [59], laser-induced cooling of atomic gases [60], light beams propagating in three evanescently coupled optical waveguides [61][62][63][64], sound propagation in sonic crystals [65], and control of a superconducting qubit [66].…”

“…While this requires dynamical potentials, a similar system with static potentials can be constructed by considering three parallel running waveguides with spatially varying coupling strength between them and an atom which travels along these guides [6]. Recently, in our previous work, a realistic atom chip system of this kind was considered [9]; however, the simulations were limited to two dimensions.…”
