摘要
Experimental demonstrations of coherent dynamics for the driven quantum system are usually limited by their shorter coherent times (due to the inevitable environment noises). Given the Maxwell equation for the electromagnetic waves (EMWs) prorogating in the optical waveguides takes the similar form of the Schrodinger equation for the driven quantum system, the quantum dynamics in time domain can be simulated by the light propagating along the waveguide in spatial domain. To simulate the fast time evolutions of quantum states during the Landau-Zener (LZ) transitions and Landau-Zenner-Stuckelberg (LZS) interferences for the periodically driven two-level systems, we develop an invariant method to design the compacted curved wavguides and demonstrate the LZ transitions and LZS interferometery in the spatial domain. Due to significantly long coherent lengths of the EMWs propagating along the waveguides, the proposed optical-quantum analogies should be feasible with the current integrated optical devices.
