    "abstract": "We consider the STIRAP process in a three-level atom. Viewed as a closed\nsystem, no geometric phase is acquired. But in the presence of spontaneous\nemission and/or collisional relaxation we show numerically that a\nnon-vanishing, purely real, geometric phase is acquired during STIRAP, whose\nmagnitude grows with the decay rates. Rather than viewing this\ndecoherence-induced geometric phase as a nuisance, it can be considered an\nexample of \"beneficial decoherence\": the environment provides a mechanism for\nthe generation of geometric phases which would otherwise require an extra\nexperimental control knob.",
