Abstract We investigate the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage for Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) states which are trapped in different potential wells or two ground states of BEC in the same trap. We consider that lasers are nearly resonant with the atomic transitions. The difference of population transfer processes between BEC atoms and usual atoms is that the atomic interaction of the BEC atoms can cause some nonadiabatic effects, which may degrade the process. But with suitable detunings of laser pulses, the effects can be remedied to some extent according to different atomic interactions.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
