Quantitative Conditions Do Not Guarantee the Validity of the Adiabatic Approximation

In this Letter, we point out that the widely used quantitative conditions in the adiabatic theorem are insufficient in that they do not guarantee the validity of the adiabatic approximation. We also reexamine the inconsistency issue raised by Marzlin and Sanders [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 160408 (2004)] and elucidate the underlying cause.

Adiabatic theorem independent of the quantum representations: Resolution of the Marzlin-Sanders inconsistency

Hsiang Shun Chou

We construct the adiabatic theorem independent of the quantum representations. The quantum-representation-independent geometrical phase, adiabatic condition, and fidelity of the adiabatic approximation are derived. As an example, we apply the quantum-representation-independent adiabatic theorem to provide a thorough resolution of the Marzlin-Sanders inconsistency. We show that the Marzlin-Sanders inconsistency results from the wrong identification of the time-dependent Hamiltonian as the instantaneous energy operator and the quantum representation dependence of the Marzlin-Sanders transformation.
