Description
Summary:We introduce a reverse-engineered scheme for achieving the precise control of population transfer in nonlinear quantum systems characterized by a 1:2 resonance. This scheme involves the use of two resonant laser pulses that transition from initial and final states to an intermediate level exhibiting irreversible losses. In comparison to alternative techniques, our approach offers computational efficiency advantages. Notably, the analytically defined form of the pump pulse enables tailored control strategies, enhancing robustness against decoherence and imperfections. This flexibility extends to choosing dump pulses and designing time evolution scenarios. These features open doors for practical implementation and scalability in quantum technologies, with potential applications in quantum information processing, quantum computing, and quantum communication.
