A remarkable feature of the Landau-Zener transition is insensitivity of the survival probability to the decay rate, of the excited state. Namely, the probability for a particle, which is initially in the ground state, to remain in the same…
By driving a 3D transmon with microwave fields, we generate an effective avoided energy-level crossing. Then we chirp microwave frequency, which is equivalent to driving the system through the avoided energy-level crossing by sweeping the…
