A Dressed Atom Interpretation of Adiabatic Rapid Passage.

Abstract

Consider the problem of adiabatic rapid passage (ARP) in a dressed atom formalism. The conditions for ARP can be understood as conditions for minimizing the probability of dressed atomic-state transitions, and that these probabilities can be used to obtain an estimate of the degree of population reversal. Furthermore, by considering ARP in the dressed atom formalism, the similarity between ARP and the Landau-Zener nonadiabatic transition problem is made quite apparent. keywords: Adiabatic rapid passage; Atomic physics; Dressed atoms; Quantum mechanics.
