Optimal stimulated Raman adiabatic passage using the dynamical quantum geometric tensor

Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage is a prominent and widely applied technique that transfers population between quantum states in three-level quantum systems. In this paper, we propose an optimized version of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, which can be implemented faster than the conventional version. In order to achieve quantum adiabaticity in shorter times, we use the geometric optimization method based on the dynamical quantum geometric tensor to regularize nonadiabatic transitions and to eliminate nonadiabatic effects during the evolution process. Optimal stimulated Raman adiabatic passage can shorten the operation time required for adiabatic population transfer appreciably, thereby avoiding decoherence resulting from long-time evolution. Moreover, optimal stimulated Raman adiabatic passage is robust against systematic and random errors. Our results provide an optimal route for the realization of fast and accurate population transfer in three-level quantum systems.
