Nonadiabatic Landau-Zener-St?ckelberg-Majorana transitions, dynamics, and interference

Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stuckelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states. Even though the interference between these transitions is known to be important, it is only recently that it became both accessible, controllable, and useful for manipulating a growing number of quantum systems. Here, we systematically study various aspects of LZSM physics and review the relevant literature, significantly expanding the review article in Ref. Shevchenko et al. (2010).(c) 2022 The Author(s).

Automated summary

This article systematically studies various aspects of LZSM physics and reviews the relevant literature, significantly expanding on the previous review article. The interfernce between transitions in LZSM has recently become accessible, controllable, and useful for manipulating a growing number of quantum systems.
