The prospect of employing the stimulated Raman adiabatic Passage (STIRAP) technique under the influence of pure dephasing is explored. A general analysis of how decoherence influences the performance of STIRAP is provided. Starting from a general and fully quantum-mechanical system–bath Hamiltonian, we derive a quantum master equation (QME) that describes the reduced dynamics of a dissipative STIRAP system. The derivation is based on the standard assumptions of (1) weak system–bath coupling; (2) Markovity, in the sense that the relaxation times are long in comparison to the bath correlation time, τc; and (3) weak field–matter interaction, in the sense that the Rabi period of the driving laser fields, Ω−1, is longer than τc. The dissipative term in this QME is the same as it would have been in the absence of the driving fields, because of the assumption of weak field–matter interaction. This type of uncontrollable dephasing is seen to diminish the efficiency of STIRAP, although the actual loss strongly dep...
