Non-Adiabatic Transition in Spin-Boson Model and Generalization of the Landau–Zener Formula
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-adiabatic transitions are studied in a spin-boson model with multiple scattering points. In order to generalize the Landau–Zener formula, which describes the case of a single scattering point, we define an “effective gap” for a set of scattering points. The generalized formula agrees very well with numerical results of the nonadiabatic dynamics, which we obtained by a direct numerical method. This will make the Landau–Zener formula yet more useful in analyzing experimental data of magnetic-moment inversion.

The rolling sphere, the quantum spin and a simple view of the Landau-Zener problem
We consider the problem of a sphere rolling on a curved surface and solve it by mapping it to the precession of a spin 1/2 in a magnetic field of variable magnitude and direction. The mapping can be of pedagogical use in discussing both rolling and spin precession. As an interesting example we show that the Landau-Zener problem corresponds to the rolling of a sphere on a Cornu spiral, and deriv...
متن کاملNon-adiabatic losses from radio-frequency dressed cold atom traps: beyond the Landau-Zener model
Non-adiabatic decay rates for a radio-frequency dressed magnetic trap are calculated using Fermi’s Golden Rule: that is, we examine the probability for a single atom to make transitions out of the dressed trap and into a continuum in the adiabatic limit, where perturbation theory can be applied. This approach can be compared to the semi-classical Landau-Zener theory of a resonant dressed atom t...
متن کاملThe V 15 Molecule , a Multi - spin Two - level System : Adiabatic LZS Transition with or without Dissipation and
(Received) The so-called V15 molecule, of formula K6[V IV 15 As6O42(H2O)]8H2O, is formed of 15 spins 1 2 antiferromagnetically coupled. The resultant spin is equal to 1 2. Contrary to what is expected at first sight, this half-integer spin is gapped. We show that this is a consequence of the multi-spin character of the molecule. Time reversal symmetry (Kramers theorem) is preserved due to the e...
متن کاملLandau-Zener formulae from adiabatic transition histories
We use recent results on precise coupling terms in the optimal superadiabatic basis in order to determine exponentially small transition probabilities in the adiabatic limit of time-dependent two-level systems. As examples, we discuss the Landau-Zener and the Rosen-Zener models.
متن کاملLandau-zener Transitions in the Presence of Spin Environment
We study the effect of an environment consisting of noninteracting two level systems on Landau-Zener transitions with an interest on the performance of an adiabatic quantum computer. We show that if the environment is initially at zero temperature, it does not affect the transition probability. An excited environment, however, will always increase the probability of making a transition out of t...
