• Abstract: In the real-time manipulation of quantum states, it is necessary to dynamically control the parameters of the system's Hamiltonian, which is a highly nontrivial task. We have studied the survival probability during the conveyance of a particle by a trapping potential, where the particle may escape from the potential well due to quantum mechanical processes (Morita et al., Phys. Rev. Research 6, 043329 (2024)). We pointed out that the escape mechanisms can be classified into two categories. One is an initial disturbance caused by a non-analytic change of parameters at the starting point, the significance of which had been pointed out earlier by one of the authors (Morita, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 76, 104001 (2007)). The other is adiabatic tunneling, a phenomenon that occurs due to quantum tunneling during the acceleration process. We have proposed a formula for the survival probability as a function of acceleration protocols, taking both mechanisms into account. In this paper, we quantitatively examine the survival probabilities in conveyance processes. Surprisingly, we find that the decay behaviors under different acceleration protocols are almost perfectly explained by the combined effects of the initial and final disturbances, together with an integral form of adiabatic tunneling throughout the transport process. Therefore, once these disturbance factors and the adiabatic tunneling contribution are determined, the survival probability for any acceleration protocol can be estimated without performing dynamical simulations for each individual case. We also analyze the effects of the disturbances at the initial and final points from the perspective of adiabatic theory.
