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 …

The Jarzynski equality relates the free-energy difference between two equilibrium states to
the work done on a system through far-from-equilibrium processes—a milestone that builds …

Quantum information technologies demand highly accurate control over quantum systems.
Achieving this requires control techniques that perform well despite the presence of …

Implementing nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation in decoherence-free
subspaces may consolidate the advantages of both strategies and thus leads to suppression …

Vibrational degrees of freedom in trapped-ion systems have recently been gaining attention
as a quantum resource, beyond the role as a mediator for entangling quantum operations on …

Single-quantum level operations are important tools to manipulate a quantum state.
Annihilation or creation of single particles translates a quantum state to another by adding or …

A quantum state is fully characterized by its density matrix or equivalently by its
quasiprobabilities in phase space. A scheme to identify the quasiprobabilities of a quantum …

The interference between a sequence of Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions can produce Rabi
oscillations (LZROs). This phenomenon is a kind of time-domain Landau-Zener-Stückelberg …

Time evolution of spin-orbit-coupled cold atoms in an optical lattice is studied, with a two-
band energy spectrum having two avoided crossings. A force is applied such that the atoms …

Landau-Zener physics is often exploited to generate quantum logic gates and to perform
state initialization and readout. The quality of these operations can be degraded by noise …
