A simple approach to the Landau-Zener formula

Published 19 Jan 2010 in physics.atom-ph | (1001.3322v2)

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.
