Integrable many-body Landau-Zener problems
Date/Time: 18:30 22-Jun-2020
Abstract:
In the emerging field of coherent many-body dynamics, we seek to understand the behavior of an isolated quantum many-body system driven far from equilibrium by changing its Hamiltonian in time. The nontrivial nature of this problem is in Landau-Zener tunneling between the adiabatic eigenstates. In this talk, I will identify a general class of many-body Hamiltonians for which this problem is exactly solvable.

Interesting models that emerge from this approach include a superconductor with the interaction strength inversely proportional to time, a Floquet BCS superconductor, and the problem of molecular production in an atomic Fermi gas swept through a Feshbach resonance as well as various matrix models of multi-level Landau-Zener tunneling. I will show how to solve the non-stationary Schrodinger equation exactly for all these models and discuss some interesting physics that emerges at large times.
