Nonadiabatic landau–zener–stückelberg–majorana transitions, dynamics, and interference

V Ivakhnenko, SN Shevchenko, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

Landau–zener–stückelberg interferometry

SN Shevchenko, S Ashhab, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2010 - Elsevier
A transition between energy levels at an avoided crossing is known as a Landau–Zener
transition. When a two-level system (TLS) is subject to periodic driving with sufficiently large …
