A theoretical framework for RAP linearly chirped pulses is developed, and a novel method to characterise ultrashort pulses is introduced. Numerical simulations solving the Schrödinger equation confirm that RAP leads to state transitions with 100% probability in the resonant regime, independent of the pulse area. The effects of a detuning between the transition and pulse frequencies on the transition probability are also analysed, revealing a linear dependence between the transition probability curve size and the pulse width.6 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) López, 2025http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/Pols ultracurtOrdinadors quànticsTreballs de fi de grauUltrashort pulseQuantum computersBachelor's thesesChirped laser pulses for rapid adiabatic passage in trapped ionsinfo:eu-repo/semantics/bachelorThesisinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
