• Abstract: We study the evolution of the energy and magnetic moment of a quantum charged particle placed in a homogeneous magnetic field, when this field changes adiabatically its sign. We show that after a single magnetic field passage through zero value, the famous adiabatic invariant ratio of energy to frequency is reestablished again, but with the proportionality coefficient higher than in the initial state. The concrete value of this proportionality coefficient depends on the power index of the frequency dependence on time near zero point. In particular, the adiabatic ratio of the initial ground state (with zero radial and angular quantum numbers) triplicates if the frequency tends to zero linearly as function of time. If the Larmor frequency attains zero more than once, the adiabatic proportionality coefficient strongly depends on the lengths of the time intervals between zero points, so that the mean energy behavior can be quasi-stochastic after many passages through zero value. The original Born-Fock adiabatic theorem does not work after the frequency passes through zero. However, its generalization is found: the initial Fock state becomes a wide superposition of many instantaneous Fock states, whose weights do not depend on time in the new adiabatic regime.

  Mean energy increases when the frequency returns to its initial value, and the increment coefficient is determined by the exponent in the power law of the frequency crossing zero. If the frequency becomes imaginary, the absolute value of mean energy increases exponentially, even in the adiabatic regime. Small corrections to the leading terms of simple adiabatic approximate formulas are crucial in this case, due to the unstable nature of the motion.

  After a single frequency passage through zero value, the famous adiabatic invariant ratio of energy to frequency is reestablished again. The dependence on the initial state disappears after averaging over phases of initial states with the same energy. The original Born-Fock theorem does not work after the frequency passes through zero.

  We study the manipulation of Majorana zero modes in a thin disk made from a $p$-wave superconductor. We analyze the second-order topological corner modes that arise when an in-plane magnetic field is applied. We show that oscillations persist even in the adiabatic phase because of a frequency independent coupling between zero modes and excited states.

  We demonstrate that the finiteness of the limiting values of the lower energy levels of a hydrogen atom under an unrestricted growth of the magnetic field is achieved already. We study the effective potential that appears when the adiabatic (diagonal) approximation is exploited for solving the Schr"odinger equation. We find that the (effective) potential of a point-like charge remains nonsingular thanks to the growing screening provided by VP.
