The Landau-Zener formula.

چکیده
The Landau-Zener formula for the probability that a nonadiabatic transition has taken place is derived without solving directly the usual second-order differential equation. This is achieved in just a few steps by using contour integration.

Non-Adiabatic Transition in Spin-Boson Model and Generalization of the Landau–Zener Formula
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 metho...
متن کاملFault-tolerant Landau-Zener quantum gates
We present a method to perform fault-tolerant single-qubit gate operations using Landau-Zener tunneling. In a single Landau-Zener pulse, the qubit transition frequency is varied in time so that it passes through the frequency of the radiation field. We show that a simple three-pulse sequence allows eliminating errors in the gate up to the third order in errors in the qubit energies or the radia...
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 کاملThe Landau - Zener Model with
We study the dynamics of a spin coupled to an oscillating magnetic field, in the presence of decoherence and dissipation. In this context we solve the master equation for the Landau-Zener problem, both in the unitary and in the irreversible case. We show that a single spin can be " magnetized " in the direction parallel to the oscillating bias. When decay from upper to lower level is taken into...
متن کاملLandau-Zener problem in a three-level neutrino system with non-linear time dependence
Abstract We consider the level-crossing problem in a three-level system with non-linearly time-varying Hamiltonian (time-dependence t). We study the validity of the so-called independent crossing approximation in the Landau-Zener model by making comparison with results obtained numerically in density matrix approach. We also demonstrate the failure of the so-called ”nearest zero” approximation ...
متن کاملAnalytically solvable two-level quantum systems and Landau-Zener interferometry
A simple algorithm is presented based on a type of partial reverse engineering that generates an unlimited number of exact analytical solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a general time-dependent two-level Hamiltonian. I demonstrate this method by deriving exact solutions corresponding to fast control pulses that contain arbitrarily many tunable parameters. It is shown that the formalism i...
