• Title: Landau-Zener transition between two levels coupled to continuum
• Authors: Rajesh K. Malla, M. E. Raikh
• Abstract summary: For a Landau-Zener transition in a two-level system, the probability for a particle, initially in the first level, em i, to survive the transition depends exponentially on the square of the tunnel matrix element between the two levels. The underlying mechanism of this additional coupling is virtual tunneling from em i into continuum followed by tunneling back into em f.

• Abstract: For a Landau-Zener transition in a two-level system, the probability for a particle, initially in the first level, {\em i}, to survive the transition and to remain in the first level, depends exponentially on the square of the tunnel matrix element between the two levels. This result remains valid when the second level, {\em f}, is broadened due to e.g. coupling to continuum [V. M. Akulin and W. P. Schleicht, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 46}, 4110 (1992)]. If the level, {\em i}, is also coupled to continuum, albeit much weaker than the level {\em f}, a particle, upon surviving the transition, will eventually escape. However, for shorter times, the probability to find the particle in the level {\em i} after crossing {\em f} is {\em enhanced} due to the coupling to continuum. This, as shown in the present paper, is the result of a second-order process, which is an {\em additional coupling between the levels}. The underlying mechanism of this additional coupling is virtual tunneling from {\em i} into continuum followed by tunneling back into {\em f}.

  We propose Markov length, the length scale at which the quantum conditional mutual information (CMI) decays exponentially. We show that the Markov length is finite everywhere except at its decodability transition, at which it diverges. This implies that the mixed state phase transition coincides with the decodability transition and also suggests a quasi-local decoding channel.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  For a Landau-Zener transition in a two-level system, the probability for a particle, initially in the first level, to survive the transition and to remain in the first level, does not depend on whether or not the second level is broadened. The same question for the multistate Landau-Zener transition is addressed in the present paper.

We show that this scenario is realized in a numerically effective model of the period-3 phase of Rydberg chains in which hard-core bosons are created and annihilated three by three.
