Quasi-Adiabatic Effects
View through CrossRef
Abstract
This book is an introduction to explicitly time-dependent physics. We describe the theory of the dynamic regime that we refer to as “quasi-adiabatic”. It pertains to time-dependent evolution that, while slow, is not genuinely adiabatic. It is rich in effects that can be understood even in quantum systems with complex many-body interactions. Examples from research in quantum computing, phase transitions, Bose-Enstein condensates, and quantum control will be used to illustrate these effects. Prerequisites include undergraduate introductory courses in quantum and classical mechanics, as well as complex analysis. Our book aims to fill the gap in the literature by providing an accessible, for early graduate and advanced undergraduate students, introduction to both geometric phases and nonadiabatic transitions at a level sufficient to consider numerous applications.
