| contents | Recently, synthetic spin-orbit coupling has been introduced into cold-atom systems for more flexible control of the Hamiltonian, which was further made time-varying through two-photon detuning to achieve dynamic control of the cold-atom state. While an intraband transition can be adiabatically obtained, a complete interband transition, rather than a superposition of different bands, obtained through fast sweeping is usually guaranteed by having the positions of the initial and final states be far away from any band gap in the quasimomentum space. Here, by introducing an additional non-Hermitian parameter through an atom-loss contrast together with two-photon detuning as two controllable external parameters, both intraband and complete interband transitions can be achieved independent of the positions of the initial and final states. In addition, a point-source diagram approach in the 2D external parameter space is developed to visualize and predict the locations of any nonadiabatic transitions. This control protocol can have potential applications in quantum state control and quantum simulations using cold-atom systems. |
