General conditions for a quantum adiabatic evolution

Daniel Comparat

Résumé

The smallness of the variation rate of the hamiltonian matrix elements compared to the (square of the) energy spectrum gap is usually believed to be the key parameter for a quantum adiabatic evolution. However it is only perturbatively valid for scaled timed hamiltonian and resonance processes as well as off resonance possible constructive Stückelberg interference effects violate this usual condition for general hamiltionian. More general adiabatic condition and exact bounds for adiabatic quantum evolution are derived and studied in the framework of a two-level system. The usual criterion is restored for real two level hamiltonian with small number of monotonicity changes of the hamiltonian matrix elements and its derivative.
