Landau-Zener problem in a three-level neutrino system with non-linear time dependence
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract We consider the level-crossing problem in a three-level system with non-linearly time-varying Hamiltonian (time-dependence t). We study the validity of the so-called independent crossing approximation in the Landau-Zener model by making comparison with results obtained numerically in density matrix approach. We also demonstrate the failure of the so-called ”nearest zero” approximation of the Landau-Zener level-crossing probability integral.

Investigation of Temperature Effect in Landau-Zener Avoided Crossing
Considering a temperature dependent two-level quantum system, we have numerically solved the Landau-Zener transition problem. The method includes the incorporation of temperature effect as a thermal noise added Schrödinger equation for the construction of the Hamiltonian. Here, the obtained results which describe the changes in the system including the quantum states and the transition pro...
متن کاملA Classical Analog of Landau-zener Tunneling as a New Type of the Mechanical Energy Trap
A detailed analytical study of irreversible energy transfer in an oscillatory system with time-dependent parameters has not been addressed thus far in the literature. This paper demonstrates a closed-form asymptotic solution of this problem for a system of two weakly coupled linear oscillators; the first oscillator with constant parameters is excited by an initial impulse, whereas the coupled o...
متن کاملNonlinear Transport in One-Dimensional Mott Insulator in Strong Electric Fields
Time-dependent Schrödinger’s equation is integrated for a one-dimensional strongly-correlated electron system driven by large electric fields. For larger electric fields, many-body Landau-Zener tunneling takes place at anticrossings of the many-body energy levels. The nonlinear I-V characteristics as well as the time dependence of the energy expectation value are obtained. The energy of the Mot...
متن کاملNonadiabatic Transitions for a Decaying Two-Level-System: Geometrical and Dynamical Contributions
We study the Landau-Zener Problem for a decaying two-level-system described by a non-hermitean Hamiltonian, depending analytically on time. Use of a super-adiabatic basis allows to calculate the non-adiabatic transition probability P in the slow-sweep limit, without specifying the Hamiltonian explicitly. It is found that P consists of a “dynamical” and a “geometrical” factors. The former is det...
متن کاملFast quantum noise in the Landau-Zener transition
We show by direct calculation starting from a microscopic model that the two-state system with timedependent energy levels in the presence of fast quantum noise obeys the master equation. The solution of master equation is found analytically and analyzed in a broad range of parameters. The fast transverse noise affects the transition probability during much longer time the accumulation time tha...
