Correlations in noisy Landau-Zener transitions

We analyze the influence of colored classical Gaussian noise on Landau-Zener transitions during a two-level crossing in a time-dependent regular external field. Transition probabilities and coherence factors become random due to the noise. We calculate their two-time correlation functions, which describe the response of this two-level system to a weak external pulse signal. The spectrum and intensity of the magnetic response are derived. Although the noise enters the equation of motion for the Bloch vector in a multiplicative way, nonperturbative analytic results are obtained by a resummation of diagrams in the limit of a short-noise correlation time. Our results also cover regimes where fluctuations are of the same order of magnitude as averages.
