Atom-to-molecule conversion efficiency and adiabatic fidelity

Abstract

The efficiency of converting two-species fermionic atoms into bosonic molecules is investigated in terms of mean-field Lagrangian density. We find that the STIRAP technique aided by Feshbach resonance is more effective than the bare Fechbach resonance for 6^6Li atoms rather than 40^{40}K atoms. We also make general consideration on the symmetry and its relevant conservation law, which enable us to introduce a natural definition of adiabatic fidelity for CPT state. The calculated values of the fidelity then provide an interpretation on why the conversion efficiencies for 40^{40}K and 6^6Li are distinctly different.
