Generalized Adiabatic Theorem and Strong-Coupling Limits

arXiv:1807.02036 · doi:10.22331/q-2019-06-12-152

Abstract

We generalize Kato's adiabatic theorem to nonunitary dynamics with an isospectral generator. This enables us to unify two strong-coupling limits: one driven by fast oscillations under a Hamiltonian, and the other driven by strong damping under a Lindbladian. We discuss the case where both mechanisms are present and provide nonperturbative error bounds. We also analyze the links with the quantum Zeno effect and dynamics.
