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 …

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 …

Optical phased arrays are a promising beam-steering technology for ultra-small solid-state
lidar and free-space communication systems. Long-range, high-performance arrays require …

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 …

We propose a method to speed up adiabatic passage techniques in two-level and three-
level atoms extending to the short-time domain their robustness with respect to parameter …

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 …

A quantum memory, composed of a long-lived qubit coupled to each processing qubit, is
important to building a scalable platform for quantum information science. These two qubits …

We review both theoretical and experimental advances in the recently emerged field of
modulated photonic lattices. These artificial periodic dielectric structures provide a powerful …

The many-body physics at quantum phase transitions shows a subtle interplay between
quantum and thermal fluctuations, emerging in the low-temperature limit. In this review, we …

The band structure of a type-II Weyl semimetal has pairs of electron and hole pockets that
coexist over a range of energies and touch at a topologically protected conical point. We …
