Validity of Quantum Adiabatic Theorem
The consistency of quantum adiabatic theorem has been doubted recently. It is shown in the present paper, that the difference between the adiabatic solution and the exact solution to the Schrödinger equation with a slowly changing driving Hamiltonian is small; while the difference between their time derivatives is not small. This explains why substituting the adiabatic solution back into Schröd...
متن کاملNecessary condition for the quantum adiabatic approximation
A gapped quantum system that is adiabatically perturbed remains approximately in its eigenstate after the evolution. We prove that, for constant gap, general quantum processes that approximately prepare the final eigenstate require a minimum time proportional to the ratio of the length of the eigenstate path to the gap. Thus, no rigorous adiabatic condition can yield a smaller cost. We also giv...
متن کاملAdiabatic Theorem without a Gap Condition
We prove the adiabatic theorem for quantum evolution without the traditional gap condition. All that this adiabatic theorem needs is a (piecewise) twice differentiable finite dimensional spectral projection. The result implies that the adiabatic theorem holds for the ground state of atoms in quantized radiation field. The general result we prove gives no information on the rate at which the adi...
متن کاملAn Adiabatic Theorem without a Gap Condition
The basic adiabatic theorems of classical and quantum mechanics are overviewed and an adiabatic theorem in quantum mechanics without a gap condition is described. 1 Classical Adiabatic Invariants Consider a (mathematical) pendulum whose period is slowly modulated, for example by shortening the length of the pendulum, fig 1, [1, 18]. Figure 1: An adiabatic pendulum The Hamiltonian describing the...
متن کاملThe Adiabatic Theorem of Quantum Mechanics
We prove the adiabatic theorem for quantum evolution without the traditional gap condition. We show that the theorem holds essentially in all cases where it can be formulated. In particular, our result implies that the adiabatic theorem holds also for eigenvalues embedded in the continuous spectrum. If there is information on the Hölder continuity of the spectral measure, then one can also esti...
