Adiabatic Approximation in the spin 1/2 System
I am studying the following Hamiltonian:
$$H(t) = \begin{bmatrix}
\frac{t\alpha}{2} & H_{12} \\
H_{12}^* & -\frac{t\alpha}{2} \\
\end{bmatrix}$$
I want to assume that $\...

Finite-time effects in Landau Zener
Consider a two level system with a Landau-Zener Hamiltonian of the form
$$\hat{H}=\begin{pmatrix}v t&\beta\\\beta&-v t\end{pmatrix}.$$
The Landau-Zener formula provides a closed form for the ...

Implement Adiabatic Elimination on Hamiltonians?
Adiabatic elimination is the process of truncating a Hamiltonian's Hilbert space to the "slow" states you care about. You throw out the "fast" eigenstates to produce a smaller ...

What is the difference between arriving at the 'avoided crossing' point of a two-level system adiabatically and non-adiabatically?
In the simplest case of the 'avoided crossing phenomenon' we can assume a two level system that its eigenstates $E_1(n)$ and $E_2(n)$ are functions of some continuous variable n, and there is some ...
