Uniform analytic description of dephasing effects in two-state transitions

X. Lacour, S. Guérin, Леонід Петрович Яценко +2 more

We describe the effect of pure dephasing upon the time-dependent dynamics of two-state quantum systems in the framework of a Lindblad equation for the time evolution of the density matrix. A uniform approximate formula is derived, which modifies the corresponding lossless transition probability by an exponential factor containing the dephasing rate and the interaction parameters. This formula is asymptotically exact in both the diabatic and adiabatic limits; comparison with numerical results shows that it is highly accurate also in the intermediate range. Several two-state models are considered in more detail, including the Landau-Zener, Rosen-Zener, Allen-Eberly, and Demkov-Kunike models, along with several other models, such as a Gaussian model and a Landau-Zener model with a pulsed coupling.

Multiple-time-scale Landau-Zener transitions in many-body systems

Jonas Larson

Motivated by recent cold-atom experiments in optical lattices, we consider a lattice version of the Landau-Zener problem. Every single site is described by a Landau-Zener problem, but due to particle tunneling between neighboring lattice sites this on-site single-particle Landau-Zener dynamics couples to the particle motion within the lattice. The lattice, apart from having a dephasing effect on single-site Landau-Zener transitions, also implies, in the presence of a confining trap, an intersite particle flow induced by the Landau-Zener sweeping. This gives rise to an interplay between intra- and intersite dynamics. The adiabaticity constraint is therefore not simply given by the standard one, the Hamiltonian rate of change relative to the gap of the on-site problem. In experimentally realistic situations, the full system evolution is well described by Franck-Condon physics; e.g., nonadiabatic excitations are predominantly external ones characterized by large phononic vibrations in the atomic cloud, while internal excitations are very weak as close-to-perfect on-site transitions take place.
