We propose a method to speed up adiabatic passage techniques in two-level and three-
level atoms extending to the short-time domain their robustness with respect to parameter …

The non-Markovian approach developed in the companion paper [Hughes et al, J. Chem.
Phys. 131, 024109 (2009)], which employs a hierarchical series of approximate spectral …

A laser cooling scheme for trapped ions is presented which is based on the fast dynamical
Stark shift gate, described in (Jonathan et al 2000 Phys. Rev. A 62 042307). Since this …

First order Doppler effects are usually ignored in laser driven trapped ions when the recoil
frequency is much smaller than the trapping frequency (Lamb-Dicke regime). This means …

We systematically analyze vibronic dynamics considering a high-frequency system mode
and low-frequency environmental modes by using quantum dynamics calculations. We …

We measure the application of simple and compound pulses consisting of time-dependent
spatial translations to coupling vibrational states of ultracold R 85 b atoms in a far-detuned …

When trapped atoms are illuminated by weak lasers, off-resonant transitions cause shifts in
the frequencies of the vibrational-sideband resonances. These frequency shifts may be …

We examine structural and dynamical properties of quantum resonances associated with an
avoided crossing and identify the parameter shifts where these properties attain extreme …

Vibronic coupling effects usually manifest themselves in molecules and crystals rather than
in unbound atoms. We theoretically demonstrate the existence of vibronic states in a moving …

We propose unified scheme to realize optimal 1? 3 symmetric economical phase-covariant
cloning (EPCC) and optimal 1? 3 symmetric economical real state cloning (SERS) in the …
