Colloquium: Nonequilibrium dynamics of closed interacting quantum systems

A Polkovnikov, K Sengupta, A Silva… - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2011 - APS
This Colloquium gives an overview of recent theoretical and experimental progress in the
area of nonequilibrium dynamics of isolated quantum systems. There is particularly a focus …

Nonadiabatic landau–zener–stückelberg–majorana transitions, dynamics, and interference

V Ivakhnenko, SN Shevchenko, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

Landau–zener–stückelberg interferometry

SN Shevchenko, S Ashhab, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2010 - Elsevier
A transition between energy levels at an avoided crossing is known as a Landau–Zener
transition. When a two-level system (TLS) is subject to periodic driving with sufficiently large …

Dynamics of a quantum phase transition and relaxation to a steady state

J Dziarmaga - Advances in Physics, 2010 - Taylor & Francis
We review recent theoretical work on two closely related issues: excitation of an isolated
quantum condensed matter system driven adiabatically across a continuous quantum phase …

Signatures of ultralight bosons in the orbital eccentricity of binary black holes

M Bošković, M Koschnitzke, RA Porto - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We show that the existence of clouds of ultralight particles surrounding black holes during
their cosmological history as members of a binary system can leave a measurable imprint on …

The simplest quantum model supporting the Kibble-Zurek mechanism of topological defect production: Landau-Zener transitions from a new perspective

B Damski - Physical review letters, 2005 - APS
It can be shown that the dynamics of the Landau-Zener model can be accurately described
in terms of the Kibble-Zurek theory of the topological defect production in nonequilibrium …

Experimental implementation of assisted quantum adiabatic passage in a single spin

J Zhang, JH Shim, I Niemeyer, T Taniguchi, T Teraji… - Physical review …, 2013 - APS
Quantum adiabatic passages can be greatly accelerated by a suitable control field, called a
counter-diabatic field, which varies during the scan through resonance. Here, we implement …

Strategies for Enhancing Spin-Shuttling Fidelities in / Quantum Wells with Random-Alloy Disorder

MP Losert, M Oberländer, JD Teske, M Volmer… - PRX Quantum, 2024 - APS
Coherent coupling between distant qubits is needed for many scalable quantum computing
schemes. In quantum dot systems, one proposal for long-distance coupling is to coherently …

Majorana's approach to nonadiabatic transitions validates the adiabatic-impulse approximation

PO Kofman, OV Ivakhnenko, SN Shevchenko, F Nori - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract The approach by Ettore Majorana for non-adiabatic transitions between two quasi-
crossing levels is revisited and significantly extended. We rederive the transition probability …

High-fidelity adiabatic passage by composite sequences of chirped pulses

BT Torosov, S Guérin, NV Vitanov - Physical review letters, 2011 - APS
We present a method for optimization of the technique of adiabatic passage between two
quantum states by composite sequences of frequency-chirped pulses with specific relative …
