Phys. Rev. A 70, 063405 (2004) [12 pages]Chaos-assisted adiabatic passageReceived 24 March 2004; revised 2 July 2004; published 9 December 2004 We study the exact dynamics underlying stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) for a particle in a multilevel anharmonic system (the infinite square well) driven by two sequential laser pulses, each with constant carrier frequency. In phase space regions where the laser pulses create chaos, the particle can be transferred coherently into energy states different from those predicted by traditional STIRAP. It appears that a transition to chaos can provide an additional tool to control the outcome of STIRAP. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
