It is found that the Aharonov-Bohm energy spectrum reveals multi-zigzag periodic structures. The investigations of spin-dependent electron dynamics via Rabi oscillations in two-level and three-level systems demonstrate the possibility of manipulating quantum states. Our results show that the optimal control of photon-assisted inter-ring transitions can be achieved by employing cascade-type and $\\Lambda$-type transition mechanisms. Under chirped pulse impulsions, a robust and complete transfer of an electron to the final state is shown to coincide with the estimation of the Landau-Zener formula.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-03-24T12:07:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "rashba spin-orbit interaction", "semiconductor double-rings", "spectral properties", "magneto-optical excitations", "multi-zigzag periodic structures" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
