In this paper we calculate and visualize the dynamics of an ensemble of electrons trapping in an electrostatic wave of slowly increasing amplitude, illustrating that, despite disordering of particles in angle during the trapping transition as they pass close to X-points, there is still an adiabatic invariant for the great majority of particles that allows the long-time distribution function to ...

The adiabatic theorem provides the basis for the adiabatic model of quantum computation. Recently the conditions required for the adiabatic theorem to hold have become a subject of some controversy. Here we show that the reported violations of the adiabatic theorem all arise from resonant transitions between energy levels. In the absence of fast driven oscillations the traditional adiabatic the...

We use a multiscale approach to analyze adiabatic shear bands in a tungsten heavy alloy particulate composite deformed in plane strain tension at a nominal strain rate of 5000/s. Fifty IJ.m diameter circular tungsten particulates are assumed to be randomly distributed and perfectly bonded to the nickel-iron matrix. The volume fraction of particulates equals 50%. We first analyze transient coupl...

We investigate the energy spectrum of systems of two, three, and four spin12 fermions with short range attractive interactions both exactly and within the scattering length approximation. The formation of molecular bound states and the ferromagnetic transition of the excited scattering state are examined systematically as a function of the two-body scattering length. Identification of the upper...

Adiabatic pulses are necessary to mitigate chemical shift artifact (CSA) and rf inhomogeneity at high-field MRS, but often they need longer durations (≥ 5 ms) and higher rf strengths (> 1 kHz) that limits their application in-vivo. Gradient offset independent adiabatic (GOIA) pulses have been proposed [1] as an elegant solution to reduce these requirements while effectively increasing the excit...

The Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) states have significant applications in condensed matter physics and quantum computation. An adiabatic path that enables the deterministic preparation of a broad range many-body states, including AKLT on arbitrary lattice geometries, is proposed. numerical results 1D 2D demonstrate high efficiency this approach.

There is a significant ongoing effort in realizing quantum annealing with different physical platforms. The challenge is to achieve a fully programmable quantum device featuring coherent adiabatic quantum dynamics. Here we show that combining the well-developed quantum simulation toolbox for Rydberg atoms with the recently proposed Lechner-Hauke-Zoller (LHZ) architecture allows one to build a p...

The induced polarization of a beam of polar clusters or molecules passing through an electric or magnetic field region differs from the textbook Langevin-Debye susceptibility. This distinction, which is important for the interpretation of deflection and focusing experiments, arises because instead of acquiring thermal equilibrium in the field region, the beam ensemble typically enters the field...

A method is proposed to drive an ultrafast non-adiabatic dynamics of an ultracold gas trapped in a time-dependent box potential. The resulting state is free from spurious excitations associated with the breakdown of adiabaticity, and preserves the quantum correlations of the initial state up to a scaling factor. The process relies on the existence of an adiabatic invariant and the inversion of ...

A double-sheeted double many-body expansion potential energy surface is reported for the coupled 12A'/22A' states of HN2 by fitting about 6000 ab initio energies. All crossing seams are described to their full extent on the basis of converged results. The lowest adiabatic sheet is fitted with a rmsd of 0.8 kcal mol-1 with respect to the calculated energies up to 100 kcal mol-1 above the absolut...
