Abstract
The rapid experimental progress in the field of superconducting nanocircuits gives rise to an increasing quest for advanced quantum-control techniques for these macroscopically coherent systems. Here we demonstrate theoretically that stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), a well-established method in quantum optics, should be possible with the quantronium setup of a Cooper-pair box. We find the parameters which optimize the procedure and show how the scheme appears to be robust against decoherence and should be realizable even with the existing technology.
