摘要
We investigate the Landau-Zener transition (LZT) of a two-level system with two types of nonlinearity: particle interaction and nonlinear time-dependent energy sweep, both numerically and analytically. Due to the interplay between these two types of nonlinearity, many interesting phenomena in different parameter regions occur, including breakdown of adiabaticity, fade-out of interference phenomenon, and asymmetry of transition probability. The potential experimental observation of transition dynamics in this system is suggested. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier B.V.
