Crossover from Rabi oscillations to adiabatic population switching in the Faraday optical control of quantum dot spins
Abstract
Stimulated Raman transitions in Faraday geometry allow for simultaneous single-shot qubit readout and qubit control. It involves driving an unbalanced $\Lambda$ system via an auxiliary excited state. Due to the simultaneous driving of both transitions with unequal detuning, the resulting time-dependent Stark shift gives rise to additional resonance conditions beyond the conventional picture. We identify a distinct regime in which repeated passages through avoided crossings lead to step-like population inversion arising from Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg interference. By changing the detuning beatnote, we demonstrate a controlled continuous crossover from Rabi-like oscillations to adiabatic population switching. These findings establish the oscillating Stark shift as a mechanism for engineering and controlling spin dynamics in Faraday geometry.
