Bath-independent Transition Probabilities in the Dissipative Landau-zener Problem
نویسنده
چکیده
We study Landau-Zener transitions of a two-level system that is coupled to a quantum heat bath at zero temperature. In particular, we reveal that for a whole class of models, the probability for a nonadiabatic transition is bath-independent.

Investigation of Temperature Effect in Landau-Zener Avoided Crossing
Considering a temperature dependent two-level quantum system, we have numerically solved the Landau-Zener transition problem. The method includes the incorporation of temperature effect as a thermal noise added Schrödinger equation for the construction of the Hamiltonian. Here, the obtained results which describe the changes in the system including the quantum states and the transition pro...
متن کاملGauging a quantum heat bath with dissipative Landau-Zener transitions.
We calculate the exact Landau-Zener transition probabilities for a qubit with an arbitrary linear coupling to a bath at zero temperature. The final quantum state exhibits a peculiar entanglement between the qubit and the bath. In the special case of diagonal coupling, the bath does not influence the transition probability, whatever the speed of the Landau-Zener sweep. It is proposed to use Land...
متن کاملFast noise in the Landau-Zener theory
We study the influence of a fast noise on Landau-Zener transitions. We demonstrate that a fast colored noise much weaker than the conventional white noise can produce transitions itself or can change substantially the Landau-Zener transition probabilities. In the limit of fast colored or strong white noise we derive asymptotically exact formulas for transition probabilities and study the time 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 tunnelling in dissipative circuit QED
We investigate the influence of temperature and dissipation on the Landau–Zener transition probability in circuit QED. Dissipation is modelled by coupling the transmission line to a bath of harmonic oscillators, and the reduced density operator is treated within Bloch–Redfield theory. A phase-space representation allows an efficient numerical implementation of the resulting master equation. It ...
