Observation of Landau-Zener dynamics in classical optical systems

Dirk Bouwmeester, Nynke H. Dekker, F. E. van Dorsselaer +3 more

We report the observation of ``tunneling'' effects in a classical optical two-level system. In particular, we present experimental results for the optical implementations of the Landau-Zener model and of a hidden level-crossing model. The experimental results are in good agreement with theory for both the transition probability and the detailed time evolution of the wave function.

Landau–Zener dynamics in a curved optical directional coupler

Stefano Longhi

A simple and experimentally accessible optical realization of Landau–Zener dynamics of two-level quantum systems with a finite coupling duration is proposed using a waveguide-based directional coupler with a cubically bent axis.

Many-body Landau-Zener transition in cold-atom double-well optical lattices

Yinyin Qian, Ming Gong, Chuanwei Zhang

Ultracold atoms in optical lattices provide an ideal platform for exploring many-body physics of a large system arising from the coupling among a series of small identical systems whose few-body dynamics is exactly solvable. Using Landau-Zener (LZ) transition of bosonic atoms in double-well optical lattices as an experimentally realizable model, we investigate such few- to many-body routes by exploring the relation and difference between the small few-body (in one double well) and the large many-body (in double-well lattice) nonequilibrium dynamics of cold atoms in optical lattices. We find the many-body coupling between double wells greatly enhances the LZ transition probability. The many-body dynamics in the double-well lattice shares both similarity and difference from the few-body dynamics in one and two double wells. The sign of the on-site interaction plays a significant role in the many-body LZ transition. Various experimental signatures of the many-body LZ transition, including atom density, momentum distribution, and density-density correlation, are obtained.
