Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage in physics, chemistry, and beyond

TL;DR: The stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) was introduced by Gaubatz et al. as discussed by the authors, which allows efficient and selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to spontaneous emission.
Journal ArticleDOI

Dynamics of a Quantum Phase Transition

TL;DR: It is shown that predictions of the two approaches of how the density of defects scales with the quench rate are compatible, and ensuing insights into the dynamics of quantum phase transitions are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relativistic calculation of atomic structures.

TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art in relativistic calculation of atomic structures is surveyed and the theory is modelled on the practice in non-relativistic calculations, using many-particle wave functions built from Dirac central field spinors.

Fractional Quantum Mechanics

TL;DR: Fractional path integrals over the paths of the Levy flights are defined and it is shown that if the fractality of the Brownian trajectories leads to standard quantum and statistical mechanics, then the fractal paths leads to fractional quantum mechanics and fractional statistical mechanics.

Quantum mechanical transition state theory and a new semiclassical model for reaction rate constants

TL;DR: In this paper, an exact quantum mechanical transition state theory is defined, i.e., a model which invokes the basic transition state idea to calculate the rate of a chemical reaction but which is free of any auxiliary approximations.
