Landau-Zener tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates in an optical lattice

V. V. Konotop, P. G. Kevrekidis, Mario Salerno

A theory of the nonsymmetric Landau-Zener tunneling of Bose-Einstein condensates in deep optical lattices is presented. It is shown that periodic exchange of matter between the bands is described by a set of linearly coupled nonlinear Schr\"odinger equations. The key role of the modulational instability in rendering the interband transitions irreversible is highlighted.

Effect of Landau–Zener tunneling by the varying sweeping rate of external field

Wang Jin-Bao, Tong Guo-ping, Li Sheng

We study the effect of Landau–Zener (LZ) tunneling caused by the varying sweeping rate of the external field, and solve the problem about the LZ tunneling rate among many levels. The LZ tunneling rate is essentially changed by the unsteady variation of the time-dependent sweeping field and is different from the steadily varying sweeping field, which makes the particles in lower states transit periodically to upper states within a finite time.
