چکیده
J. Phys. Chem. B 2005, 109 (17), 8428−8430. DOI: 10.1021/jp040627u T Landau−Zener formula was derived in 1932 and since then has remained an important tool in molecular dynamics and spectroscopy. In 2005, C. Witting proposed a simple derivation of the formula; it looks very useful and probably will be widely used. In this Comment, a new derivation of the Landau−Zener formula is proposed. Several shortcomings of Witting’s derivation are overcome; now it is really “a single line” derivation. Let there be two nonperturbed diabatic states, labeled 1 and 2, and the energy difference between them is

Non-Adiabatic Transition in Spin-Boson Model and Generalization of the Landau–Zener Formula
Non-adiabatic transitions are studied in a spin-boson model with multiple scattering points. In order to generalize the Landau–Zener formula, which describes the case of a single scattering point, we define an “effective gap” for a set of scattering points. The generalized formula agrees very well with numerical results of the nonadiabatic dynamics, which we obtained by a direct numerical metho...
متن کاملLandau-Zener formulae from adiabatic transition histories
We use recent results on precise coupling terms in the optimal superadiabatic basis in order to determine exponentially small transition probabilities in the adiabatic limit of time-dependent two-level systems. As examples, we discuss the Landau-Zener and the Rosen-Zener models.
متن کاملAnalytically solvable two-level quantum systems and Landau-Zener interferometry
A simple algorithm is presented based on a type of partial reverse engineering that generates an unlimited number of exact analytical solutions to the Schrödinger equation for a general time-dependent two-level Hamiltonian. I demonstrate this method by deriving exact solutions corresponding to fast control pulses that contain arbitrarily many tunable parameters. It is shown that the formalism i...
متن کاملFast noise in the Landau-Zener theory
We study the influence of a fast noise on Landau-Zener transitions. We demonstrate that a fast colored noise much weaker than the conventional white noise can produce transitions itself or can change substantially the Landau-Zener transition probabilities. In the limit of fast colored or strong white noise we derive asymptotically exact formulas for transition probabilities and study the time e...
متن کاملFault-tolerant Landau-Zener quantum gates
We present a method to perform fault-tolerant single-qubit gate operations using Landau-Zener tunneling. In a single Landau-Zener pulse, the qubit transition frequency is varied in time so that it passes through the frequency of the radiation field. We show that a simple three-pulse sequence allows eliminating errors in the gate up to the third order in errors in the qubit energies or the radia...
