Title: Multitime Landau–Zener model: classification of solvable Hamiltonians

Abstract

We discuss a class of models that generalize the two-state Landau–Zener Hamiltonian to both the multistate and multitime evolution. It is already known that the corresponding quantum mechanical evolution can be understood in great detail. Here, we present an approach to classify such solvable models, namely, to identify all their independent families for a given number N of interacting states and prove the absence of such families for some types of interactions. We also discuss how, within a solvable family, one can classify the scattering matrices, i.e., the system's dynamics. Furthermore, due to the possibility of such a detailed classification, the multitime Landau–Zener model defines a useful special function of theoretical physics.

A large class of solvable multistate Landau–Zener models and quantum integrability

Journal Article Chernyak, Vladimir Y. ; Sinitsyn, Nikolai A. ; Sun, Chen - Journal of Physics. A, Mathematical and Theoretical

The concept of quantum integrability has been introduced recently for quantum systems with explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonians (Sinitsyn et al 2018 Phys. Rev. Lett. 120 190402). Within the multistate Landau–Zener (MLZ) theory, however, there has been a successful alternative approach to identify and solve complex time-dependent models (Sinitsyn and Chernyak 2017 J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 50 255203). Here in this paper we compare both methods by applying them to a new class of exactly solvable MLZ models. This class contains systems with an arbitrary number Nmore »« less

Solvable four-state Landau-Zener model of two interacting qubits with path interference

Journal Article Sinitsyn, Nikolai A. - Physical Review. B, Condensed Matter and Materials Physics

In this paper, I identify a nontrivial four-state Landau-Zener model for which transition probabilities between any pair of diabatic states can be determined analytically and exactly. The model describes an experimentally accessible system of two interacting qubits, such as a localized state in a Dirac material with both valley and spin degrees of freedom or a singly charged quantum dot (QD) molecule with spin orbit coupling. Application of the linearly time-dependent magnetic field induces a sequence of quantum level crossings with possibility of interference of different trajectories in a semiclassical picture. I argue that this system satisfies the criteria ofmore »« less

Integrable time-dependent Hamiltonians, solvable Landau–Zener models and Gaudin magnets

Journal Article Yuzbashyan, Emil A., E-mail: eyuzbash@physics.rutgers.edu - Annals of Physics (New York)

We solve the non-stationary Schrödinger equation for several time-dependent Hamiltonians, such as the BCS Hamiltonian with an interaction strength inversely proportional to time, periodically driven BCS and linearly driven inhomogeneous Dicke models as well as various multi-level Landau–Zener tunneling models. The latter are Demkov–Osherov, bow-tie, and generalized bow-tie models. We show that these Landau–Zener problems and their certain interacting many-body generalizations map to Gaudin magnets in a magnetic field. Moreover, we demonstrate that the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for the above models has a similar structure and is integrable with a similar technique as Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations. We also discuss applications ofmore »« less

The quest for solvable multistate Landau-Zener models

Journal Article Sinitsyn, Nikolai A. ; Chernyak, Vladimir Y. - Journal of Physics. A, Mathematical and Theoretical

Recently, integrability conditions (ICs) in mutistate Landau-Zener (MLZ) theory were proposed. They describe common properties of all known solved systems with linearly time-dependent Hamiltonians. Here we show that ICs enable efficient computer assisted search for new solvable MLZ models that span complexity range from several interacting states to mesoscopic systems with many-body dynamics and combinatorially large phase space. This diversity suggests that nontrivial solvable MLZ models are numerous. Additionally, we refine the formulation of ICs and extend the class of solvable systems to models with points of multiple diabatic level crossing.

Landau-Zener transitions mediated by an environment: Population transfer and energy dissipation

Journal Article Dodin, Amro ; Simine, Lena ; Segal, Dvira ; ... - Journal of Chemical Physics

We study Landau-Zener transitions between two states with the addition of a shared discretized continuum. The continuum allows for population decay from the initial state as well as indirect transitions between the two states. The probability of nonadiabatic transition in this multichannel model preserves the standard Landau-Zener functional form except for a shift in the usual exponential factor, reflecting population transfer into the continuum. We provide an intuitive explanation for this behavior assuming individual, independent transitions between pairs of states. In contrast, the ground state survival probability at long time shows a novel, non-monotonic, functional form with an oscillatory behaviormore »« less
