Adiabatic quantum computation, a quantum computing model that relies on the adiabatic theorem to do calculations
The effective volume increase can be as much as 40% and is due primarily to a reduction in the speed of sound, and not to the popular misconception of a change in operating conditions from adiabatic to isothermal.
A similar class of winds, the Sirocco, the Bora and Santa Ana winds, are examples where orographic lifting has limited effect since there is limited moisture to remove in the Saharan or other air masses; the Sirocco, Bora and Santa Ana are driven primarily by (adiabatic) compression heating.
This process of transforming the population without populating the excited state is called the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage.
•
The Stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) process permits transfer of a population between two applicable quantum states via at least two coherent electromagnetic (light) pulses.
In particular, he investigated the interaction of radiative transfer and pulsations in the atmospheres of stars by solving non-adiabatic pulsation equations.
