Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage

Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) is a technique used in quantum mechanics and quantum optics to achieve coherent population transfer between quantum states. It is particularly relevant in fields such as quantum computing, atomic physics, and molecular manipulation. ### Key Concepts of STIRAP: 1. **Quantum States**: STIRAP typically involves a three-level quantum system, which can be represented as states |1⟩, |2⟩, and |3⟩.
