• Abstract: The transition dynamics of two-state systems with time-dependent energy levels, first considered by Landau, Zener, Majorana, and St\"uckelberg, is one of the basic models in quantum physics and has been used to describe various physical systems. We propose here a generalization of the Landau-Zener (LZ) problem characterized by distinct paths of the instantaneous eigenstates as the system evolves in time, while keeping the instantaneous eigenenergies exactly as in the standard LZ model. We show that these paths play an essential role in the transition probability $P$ between the two states, and can lead to superadiabatic transitions, i.e., to a substantial reduction of $P$. As an instructive extreme case, we identify an unconditionally adiabatic regime with $P=0$ no matter how fast the system evolves in time and regardless of the energy gap between the two levels at the anticrossing point. On the other hand, large $P$ occur even in the absence of any anticrossing point. These phenomena can be explained by observing the rotation of the instantaneous eigenvectors on the Bloch sphere. The superadiabatic LZ model can describe valley transition dynamics during charge and spin shuttling in semiconductor quantum dots.

  We investigate the transport properties of a two-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (2D SSH) model in the quantum Hall regime. We observe a transition from a gapped phase to a flat band regime at zero energy by varying the magnetic field. This transition is characterized by the emergence of highly localized states in the bulk or edges.

  Adiabatic edge state pumping (ESP) in one dimensional model has important applications in topological phase transition and quantum simulation. We show that this process involves two non-adiabatic points during the transition between the edge state and bulk state. In a relatively long chain with weak disorder, the ESP can break down due to the anti-crossing of the edge state and the bulk edge states.

  We study periodic dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) directly connected to the zeros of a Landau order parameter (OP) We find that a DQPT signals a change in the dominant contribution to the wave function in the degenerate initial-state manifold. Our work generalizes previous results and reveals that, in general, periodic DQPTs comprise complex many-body dynamics fundamentally beyond that of two-level systems.

  How the property of quantum many-body system especially the phase transition will be affected by the non-hermiticity remains unclear. We show that there is a continuous phase transition induced by the non-hermiticity in QCP. We observe that the order parameter and susceptibility display infinitely even for finite size system, since non-hermiticity endows universality many-body system with different singular behaviour from classical phase transition.

• Inhomogeneity induced shortcut to adiabaticity in Ising chains with long-range interactions [0.0]
  Quenches designed with local time-dependent inhomogeneity can introduce a gap in the spectrum. We show that we get an adiabatic transition with no defects only when the inhomogeneous front moves slower than a characteristic crossover velocity. This effect can be employed for efficient adiabatic quantum state preparation in systems with long-range interactions.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
