Adiabatic-Markovian Dynamics at Avoided Crossings — •Peter Nalbach — I. Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Hamburg, Jungiusstr. 9, 20355 Hamburg

In order to study Landau-Zener transitions at avoided crossings under the influence of environmental fluctuations we derive effective nonequilibrium Bloch equations. Thereby, we employ an adiabatic-Markovian approximation which results in effectively time-dependent relaxation and dephasing rates and a time-dependent quasi-equilibrium statistical operator to which the system is driven. At weak coupling, where in a static case a Markovian approximation is valid, we observe very good agreement for the full driving speed range between the nonequilibrium Bloch equations predictions and numerical exact data for the Landau-Zener transition and the excitation survival probability [1]. The nonequilibrium Bloch equations, thus, allow for an efficient tool to analyze and model the dynamics in driven double quantum dot [2] and other qubit realizations.
