Dynamics of dissipative Landau-Zener transitions in an anisotropic three-level system

We investigate the dynamics of Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions in an anisotropic, dissipative three-level LZ model (3-LZM) using the numerically accurate multiple Davydov D2Ansatz in the framework of the time-dependent variational principle. It is demonstrated that a non-monotonic relationship exists...

Description
Summary:We investigate the dynamics of Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions in an anisotropic, dissipative three-level LZ model (3-LZM) using the numerically accurate multiple Davydov D2Ansatz in the framework of the time-dependent variational principle. It is demonstrated that a non-monotonic relationship exists between the Landau-Zener transition probability and the phonon coupling strength when the 3-LZM is driven by a linear external field. Under the influence of a periodic driving field, phonon coupling may induce peaks in contour plots of the transition probability when the magnitude of the system anisotropy matches the phonon frequency. The 3-LZM coupled to a super-Ohmic phonon bath and driven by a periodic external field exhibits periodic population dynamics in which the period and amplitude of the oscillations decrease with the bath coupling strength.
