Fundamental solution method applied to time evolution of two-energy-level systems: Exact and adiabatic limit results
Stefan Giller, Cezary Gonera
A method of fundamental solutions has been used to investigate transitions in two-energy-level-systems with no level crossing in a real time. Compact formulas for transition probabilities have been found in their exact form as well as in their adiabatic limit. No interference effects resulting from many-level complex crossings as announced by Joye, Mileti, and Pfister [Phys. Rev. A 44, 4280 (1991)] have been detected in either case. It is argued that these results of this work are incorrect. However, some effects of Berry's phases are confirmed.
