A simple approach to the Landau-Zener formula
arXiv:1001.3322 · doi:10.1088/0143-0807/31/2/016
Abstract
The Landau-Zener formula provides the probability of non-adiabatic transitions occuring when two energy levels are swept through an avoided crossing. The formula is derived here in a simple calculation that emphasizes the physics responsible for non-adiabatic population transfer.
