Nonadiabatic landau–zener–stückelberg–majorana transitions, dynamics, and interference

V Ivakhnenko, SN Shevchenko, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2023 - Elsevier
Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

Cavity optomechanics

M Aspelmeyer, TJ Kippenberg, F Marquardt - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2014 - APS
The field of cavity optomechanics is reviewed. This field explores the interaction between
electromagnetic radiation and nanomechanical or micromechanical motion. This review …

Landau–zener–stückelberg interferometry

SN Shevchenko, S Ashhab, F Nori - Physics Reports, 2010 - Elsevier
A transition between energy levels at an avoided crossing is known as a Landau–Zener
transition. When a two-level system (TLS) is subject to periodic driving with sufficiently large …

Strong and tunable nonlinear optomechanical coupling in a low-loss system

JC Sankey, C Yang, BM Zwickl, AM Jayich, JGE Harris - Nature Physics, 2010 - nature.com
A major goal in optomechanics is to observe and control quantum behaviour in a system
