Abstract: The superadiabatic quantum driving, producing a perfect adiabatic transfer on a given Hamiltonian by introducing an additional Hamiltonian, is theoretically analyzed for transfers within a three-level system. Our starting point is the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, realized through different schemes of laser pulses. We determine the superadiabatic correction for each scheme. The fidelity, robustness, and transfer time of all the superadiabatic transfer schemes are discussed. We derive that all superadiabatic corrections are based on a pi- (or near-pi)-area pulse coupling between the initial and final states. The benefits in the protocol robustness overcome the difficulties associated to the actual implementation of the three-level superadiabatic transfer.
