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 …

A basic requirement for quantum information processing is the ability to universally control
the state of a single qubit on timescales much shorter than the coherence time. Although …

We study the microwave absorption of a driven three-level quantum system, which is
realized by a superconducting flux quantum circuit (SFQC), with a magnetic driving field …

The studies of mechanical resonators in the quantum regime not only provide insight into the
fundamental nature of quantum mechanics of massive objects, but also introduce promising …

Abstract The Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) predicts the density of topological defects
produced in the dynamical processes of phase transitions in systems ranging from …

We demonstrate quantum coherent control of single electronic spins in a nitron-vacancy
center in diamond by exploiting and implementing the general concept of Landau-Zener …

Geometric quantum manipulation and Landau-Zener interferometry have been separately
explored in many quantum systems. In this Letter, we combine these two approaches to …

A periodically driven quantum system with avoided level crossing experiences both
nonadiabatic transitions and wave-function phase changes. These result in coherent …

The interference between a sequence of Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions can produce Rabi
oscillations (LZROs). This phenomenon is a kind of time-domain Landau-Zener-Stückelberg …

We consider theoretically a superconducting qubit–nanomechanical resonator (NR) system,
which was realized by LaHaye et al.[Nature (London) 459, 960 (2009) NATUAS 0028-0836 …
