• Abstract: We present a digitized implementation of rapid adiabatic passage based on a train of weak, frequency-varying ultrafast pulses. Analytic conditions on the subpulse Rabi frequencies and detunings are derived to reproduce the continuous-time population dynamics of a conventional long-pulse excitation. We find that the reproduced dynamics achieves high fidelity even for pulse trains with a small number of subpulses, provided that each subpulse remains within the perturbative regime. The subpulses act as discrete samples of the underlying continuous evolution; consequently, more complex population dynamics, characterized by multiple oscillations prior to the onset of adiabaticity, require a larger number of subpulses for accurate reproduction. In addition, we demonstrate how the sidebands of a frequency comb can be exploited for resonant excitation at large carrier detuning and for the precise preparation of superposition states.

• Observation of collapse and revival in a superconducting atomic frequency comb [0.0]
  We demonstrate an atomic frequency comb formed by individual artificial atoms strongly coupled to a single resonator mode. We show that this revival dynamics emerges as a consequence of the constructive and periodic rephasing of the five superconducting qubits forming the vacuum Rabi split comb. In the future, similar devices could be used as a memory with tunable in-situ storage time or as an on-chip periodic pulse generator with non-classical photon statistics.
