Solvable multistate model of Landau-Zener transitions in cavity QED
Nikolai A. Sinitsyn, Fuxiang Li · Physical Review A · 2016
We consider the model of a single optical cavity mode interacting with two-level systems (spins) driven by a linearly time-dependent field. When this field passes through values at which spin energy-level splittings become comparable to spin coupling to the optical mode, a cascade of Landau-Zener transitions leads to coflips of spins in exchange for photons of the cavity. We derive exact transition probabilities between different diabatic states induced by such a sweep of the field.
