Abstract

The dynamics of the Rosen–Zener transition (RZT) in interacting two-level systems within nonreciprocal systems is examined, where nonreciprocity stems from asymmetric couplings between energy levels. For the linear case, an analytical expression for the RZT probability is derived. In the nonlinear scenario, numerical experiments are utilized to investigate the impact of various initial states and scanning periods on transition probabilities under adiabatic conditions . Additionally, an equivalent classical Hamiltonian is formulated to elucidate the origin of transition asymmetry under different initial state conditions. The influence of energy level detuning on the RZT is explored, leading to the suggestion of new applications for studying parameters of two-level systems related to nonlinearity and nonreciprocity. This opens avenues for potential Rosen–Zener–Stückelberg interferometry implementations.

Rosen-Zener transition in a nonlinear two-level system

Difa Ye, Libin Fu, Jie Liu

We study the Rosen-Zener transition (RZT) in a nonlinear two-level system in which the level energies depend on the occupation of the levels, representing a mean-field type of interaction between the particles. We find that the nonlinearity could affect the quantum transition dramatically. At certain nonlinearity the 100% population transfer between two levels is observed and found to be robust over a very wide range of external parameters. On the other hand, the quantum transition could be completely blocked by a strong nonlinearity. In the sudden and adiabatic limits we have derived analytical expressions for the transition probability. Numerical explorations are made for a wide range of parameters of the general case. Possible applications of our theory to Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) and solid-state physics are discussed.

Adiabaticity in nonreciprocal Landau-Zener tunneling

Wen-Yuan Wang, Bin Sun, Jie Liu

We investigate the Landau-Zener tunneling (LZT) of a self-interacting two-level system in which the coupling between the levels is nonreciprocal. In such a non-Hermitian system, when the energy bias between two levels is adjusted very slowly, i.e., in the adiabatic limit, we find that a quantum state can still closely follow the eigenstate solution until it encounters the exceptional points (EPs) at which two eigenvalues and their corresponding eigenvectors coalesce. In the absence of the nonlinear self-interaction, we can obtain explicit expressions for the eigenvectors and eigenvalues and analytically derive the adiabatic LZT probability from invariants at EPs. In the presence of the nonlinear interaction, the dynamics of the adiabatic evolutions are explicitly demonstrated with the help of classical trajectories in the plane of the two canonical variables of the corresponding classical Josephson Hamiltonian. We show that the adiabatic tunneling probabilities can be precisely predicted by the classical action at EPs in the weak nonreciprocal regime. In a certain region of strong nonreciprocity, we find that interestingly, the nonlinear interaction effects can be completely suppressed so that the adiabatic tunneling probabilities are identical to their linear counterparts. We also obtain a phase diagram for large ranges of nonreciprocity and nonlinear interaction parameters to explicitly demonstrate where the adiabaticity can break down, i.e., the emergence of the nonzero tunneling probabilities even in adiabatic limit.

Nonlinear non-Hermitian Landau–Zener–Stückelberg–Majorana interferometry

Xin Wang, H. D. Liu, Libin Fu

Abstract In this work, we have studied the non-Hermitian nonlinear Landau–Zener–Stückelberg–Majorana (LZSM) interferometry in a non-Hermitian N -body interacting boson system in which the non-Hermiticity is from the nonreciprocal tunnelings between the bosons. By using the mean-field approximation and projective Hilbert space, the effect of nonreciprocity and nonlinearity on the energy spectrum, the dynamics, and the formation of the interference fringes have been studied. The different symmetries and the impact of the two different types of reciprocity, i.e. the in-phase tunneling and anti-phase tunneling, on the energy spectrum and the phase transition between the Josephson oscillations and the self-trapping have been investigated. For the LZSM interferometry, the strength of the nonreciprocity is found to take an essential role in the population of the projective state and the strengths of the interference patterns in the projective space. While the conditions of destructive and constructive interference under the weak-coupling approximation still only depend on the strength of nonlinearity. Our result provides an application of the nonlinear non-Hermitian LZSM interferometry in studying the parameters of a two-level system which related to the nonlinearity and the non-Hermiticity.

Rosen–Zener transition of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates

Xin Yu Jiang, Wen-Shan Duan, Sheng-Chang Li +1 more

Rosen–Zener transitions of two-component Bose–Einstein condensates in a nonlinear two-level system are studied. The intensities of interspecies interactions which can be adjusted by Feshbach resonance can affect the quantum transition dramatically. The percentage of both components also has an important effect on the quantum transition probabilities. It is also found that the quantum transition can be completely blocked by either strong interspecies interactions or large percentage of the component. In the sudden limit, the approximated transition probabilities for each component are obtained analytically. In the adiabatic limit, the equivalent classical Hamiltonian is obtained. The fixed points and the eigenenergy level structures are also obtained. Finally, for some special cases, the period of the rectangular oscillation as a function of the percentage of the number density and the interspecies interaction is obtained analytically. All the analytical results are compared with numerical simulations and good agreement is obtained.

Nonlinear Rosen-Zener-Stückelberg interferometry of a Bose-Einstein condensate

Sheng-Chang Li, Libin Fu

We adopt a nonlinear two-mode model to investigate the Rosen-Zener-St\"uckelberg (RZS) interferometry of an interacting Bose-Einstein condensate trapped in double-well potential with a periodically modulating barrier. For symmetric potential, we analyze the properties of interference patterns and derive the interference conditions. For asymmetric potential, we explore the resonance structures caused by destructive interference at the weakly coupling limit and obtain the resonance conditions. In particular, we find that the chaotic motions in the asymmetric case with low-frequency modulation, can destroy the formation of interference fringes. In the symmetric case with high-frequency modulation, we see Fano-line-like resonance structures and find that the reso- nance positions exactly correspond to the boundary of macroscopic quantum self-trapping. We show that the nonlinearity can significantly alter both the shape and position of interference fringes and resonance structures. We discuss the experimental feasibility by comparing the solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with both the solution of the two-mode model and the truncated Wigner simulation as well. The results suggest important applications of nonlinear RZS interferometry both in precisely controlling the dynamics and in accurately measuring the parameters of interacting many-body systems.

Nonlinear Rosen-Zener transition of Fermi superfluid gases

Hongjuan Meng, Yang Yang, Wen-Yuan Wang +5 more

By considering the contribution of the higher order term representing the lowest approximation of beyond mean field correction and taking Roser-Zener tunneling as the underling process, we study the nonlinear Rosen-Zener transition of Fermi superfluid gas in a two-level system. We find that the nonlinearity can affect the quantun trasition in the fast scan limit and the adiabatic limit. We also derive the analytical expression for the of rectangular oscillation period dependent on nonlinear parameter. This provides a theoretical basis for a deeper understanding of the basis properties of Fermi gases.
