On Landau-Zener transitions for dephasing Lindbladians
arXiv:1606.00559 · doi:10.1007/s00023-017-0567-0
Abstract
We consider a driven open system whose evolution is described by a Lindbladian. The Lindbladian is assumed to be dephasing and its Hamiltonian part to be given by the Landau-Zener Hamiltonian. We derive a formula for the transition probability which, unlike previous results, extends the Landau-Zener formula to open systems.
