Coherent population transfer with polariton states in circuit QED (2310.20180v1)

Abstract: This article proposes a new method to increase the efficiency of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in superconducting circuits using a shortcut to the adiabaticity (STA) method. The STA speeds up the adiabatic process before decoherence has a significant effect, thus leading to increased efficiency. This method achieves fast, high-fidelity coherent population transfer, known as super-adiabatic STIRAP (saSTIRAP), in a dressed state-engineered $\Lambda$ system with polariton states in circuit QED.
