Fast-forward scaling of atom-molecule conversion in Bose-Einstein condensates (2012.07611v2)

Abstract: Robust stimulated Raman exact passages are requisite for controlling nonlinear quantum systems, with the wide applications ranging from ultracold molecules, non-linear optics to superchemistry. Inspired by shortcuts to adiabaticity, we propose the fast-forward scaling of stimulated Raman adiabatic processes with the nonlinearity involved, describing the transfer from an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate to a molecular one by controllable external fields. The fidelity and robustness of atom-molecule conversion are shown to surpass those of conventional adiabatic passages, assisted by fast-forward driving field. Finally, our results are extended to the fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic processes for the coherent superposition of atomic and molecular states.
