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 …

Analog of a quantum heat engine using a single-spin qubit

K Ono, SN Shevchenko, T Mori, S Moriyama, F Nori - Physical Review Letters, 2020 - APS
A quantum two-level system with periodically modulated energy splitting could provide a
minimal universal quantum heat machine. We present the experimental realization and the …

Majorana's approach to nonadiabatic transitions validates the adiabatic-impulse approximation

PO Kofman, OV Ivakhnenko, SN Shevchenko, F Nori - Scientific reports, 2023 - nature.com
Abstract The approach by Ettore Majorana for non-adiabatic transitions between two quasi-
crossing levels is revisited and significantly extended. We rederive the transition probability …

Flux qubit based detector of microwave photons

OA Ilinskaya, AI Ryzhov, SN Shevchenko - Physical Review B, 2024 - APS
A theory of detection of microwave photons with a flux qubit based detector is presented. We
consider a semiclassical approximation with the electromagnetic field being in a coherent …

Nonlinear Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana problem

S Ashhab, OA Ilinskaya, SN Shevchenko - Physical Review A, 2022 - APS
In the standard Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana (LZSM) problem, the bias sweep rate
and gap are both time independent and fully characterize the LZSM problem. We consider …
