By use of a pulse sequence, the technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage transfers population without loss between quantum states via unstable intermediate states. This article reviews many applications of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage to control quantum states in physics and chemistry, from precision spectroscopy over molecular reactions to quantum information processing.
