Abstract
In multimode optomechanical systems, the mechanical modes can be coupled via the radiation pressure of the common optical mode, but the fidelity of the state transfer is limited by the optical cavity decay. Here we demonstrate stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) in optomechanics, where the optical mode is not populated during the coherent state transfer between the mechanical modes avoiding this decay channel. We show a state transfer of a coherent mechanical excitation between vibrational modes of a membrane in a high-finesse optical cavity with a transfer efficiency of 86%. Combined with exceptionally high mechanical quality factors, STIRAP between mechanical modes can enable generation, storage, and manipulation of long-lived mechanical quantum states, which is important for quantum information science and for the investigation of macroscopic quantum superpositions.

Abstract
The first presentation of the STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) technique with proper theoretical foundation and convincing experimental data appeared 25 years ago, in the May 1st, 1990 issue of The Journal of Chemical Physics. By now, the STIRAP concept has been successfully applied in many different fields of physics, chemistry, and beyond. In this article, we comment briefly on the initial motivation of the work, namely, the study of reaction dynamics of vibrationally excited small molecules, and how this initial idea led to the documented success. We proceed by providing a brief discussion of the physics of STIRAP and how the method was developed over the years, before discussing a few examples from the amazingly wide range of applications which STIRAP now enjoys, with the aim to stimulate further use of the concept. Finally, we mention some promising future directions.

Abstract
A new quantum control scheme for general multilevel systems using intense laser fields is proposed. In the present scheme, the target subspace consisting of several quantum levels is effectively isolated by applying intense cw lasers with specific conditions. The formulation is carried out using the Green function with the help of projection operator method. Dynamics of the isolated target subspace is governed by an effective Hamiltonian. The developed scheme is applied to the quantum control of dissipative four- and five-level systems. It is clarified that the present method makes it possible not only to manipulate the coherent population dynamics but also to suppress the dissipative dynamics.

Abstract
Coherent manipulations of atoms using laser lightThe internal structure of a particle - an atom or other quantum system in which the excitation energies are discrete - undergoes change when exposed to pulses of near-resonant laser light. This tutorial review presents basic concepts of quantum states, of laser radiation and of the Hilbert-space statevector that provides the theoretical portrait of probability amplitudes - the tools for quantifying quantum properties not only of individual atoms and molecules but also of artificial atoms and other quantum systems. It discusses the equations of motion that describe the laser-induced changes (coherent excitation), and gives examples of laser-pulse effects, with particular emphasis on two-state and three-state adiabatic time evolution within the rotating-wave approximation. It provides pictorial descriptions of excitation based on the Bloch equations that allow visualization of two-state excitation as motion of a three-dimensional vector (the Bloch vector). Other visualization techniques allow portrayal of more elaborate systems, particularly the Hilbert-space motion of adiabatic states subject to various pulse sequences. Various more general multilevel systems receive treatment that includes degeneracies, chains and loop linkages. The concluding sections discuss techniques for creating arbitrary pre-assigned quantum states, for manipulating them into alternative coherent superpositions and for analyzing an unknown superposition. Appendices review some basic mathematical concepts and provide further details of the theoretical formalism, including photons, pulse propagation, statistical averages, analytic solutions to the equations of motion, exact solutions of periodic Hamiltonians, and population-trapping "dark" states.

Abstract
We propose a new scheme for quantum dynamics control of multilevel system using intense lasers. To do so, we apply intense CW lasers to create a strongly coupled subsystem with which one can make the complementary space effectively isolated, and we apply the established control schemes to the isolated subsystem. We have also obtained an effective Hamiltonian for the target subsystem with the help of the second-order perturbation theory. Numerical demonstrations on model systems show that the present decomposition scheme effectively works for population dynamics control. It is also found that relaxation processes can be suppressed under the proposed scheme.

Abstract
There has been much progress in the control of chemical reactions since methods of active control were first proposed by Brumer & Shapiro and by Tannor & Rice ten years ago. This chapter reviews both theoretical and experimental advances in the field. Control schemes based on quantum mechanical interference between competing paths and the manipulation of wave packets with tailored laser pulses are discussed. The theory of optimal control, the limitations of control theory applied to many-body dynamics, and the effects of constraints on the trajectory of the controlled observable are presented. Experimental progress in controlling the population of specific quantum states, in manipulating the dynamics of bound wave packets, and in the control of chemical reactions are reviewed, and current problems in the field are summarized.

Abstract
The feasibility of efficient population transfer between an initial state and a decaying target state of the same parity without populating an intermediate state, in the presence of large-amplitude stochastic energy level fluctuations that mimic the dephasing in a solute molecule due to the influence of a solvent, is demonstrated theoretically. In particular, it is shown that a decaying target state, whose decay rate constant is large compared with the band width of picosecond laser pulses but small compared with the associated peak Rabi frequencies, can dramatically suppress the dephasing-induced nonadiabaticity associated with the dynamics of population transfer, resulting in, irrespective of the correlation time of stochastic energy level fluctuations, negligible population in the intermediate state and complete population transfer to the decaying target state. These results should further motivate experimental studies of optical control of molecular dynamics in a liquid. An interesting connection between our results and the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects is also discussed.

Abstract
We present an analytic solution for the nondegenerate quantum control problem, i.e., the transfer of a deliberate amount of population, 0%-100%, between arbitrary initial Psi(t)> and final Psi'(t)> states, which can be expanded in terms of nondegenerate energy eigenstates k>. The solution constitutes a robust two-photon multicomponent adiabatic passage, via an intermediate eigenstate 0>, which relies on three types of "null states."
