Gauging a quantum heat bath with dissipative Landau-Zener transitionsMartijn Wubs, Keiji Saito, Sigmund Kohler, Peter Hänggi, and Yosuke KayanumaPhys. Rev. Lett. 97, 200404 (2006) We calculate the exact Landau-Zener transitions probabilities for a qubit with arbitrary linear coupling to a bath at zero temperature. The final quantum state exhibits a peculiar entanglement between the qubit and the bath. In the special case of a diagonal coupling, the bath does not influence the transition probability, whatever the speed of the Landau-Zener sweep. It is proposed to use Landau-Zener transitions to determine both the reorganization energy and the integrated spectral density of the bath. Possible applications include circuit QED and molecular nanomagnets. arXiv:cond-mat/0608333 |
