A driven quantum system can experience Landau-Zener-Stuckelberg-Majorana (LZSM) transitions between its states, when the respective energy levels quasi-cross. If this quasicrossing is traversed repeatedly under periodic driving, the…
We consider the problem of state selection for a stochastic system, initially in an unstable stationary state, when multiple metastable states compete for occupation. Using path-integral techniques we derive remarkably simple and accurate…
We discuss the transition paths in a coupled bistable system consisting of interacting multiple identical bistable motifs. We propose a simple model of coupled bistable gene circuits as an example, and show that its transition paths are…
In the standard Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg-Majorana (LZSM) problem, the bias sweep rate and gap are both time independent and fully characterize the LZSM problem. We consider the nonlinear LZSM problem, in which at least one of the two…
In this article, we investigate the existence of nematic-superconducting states in the Ginzburg-Landau regime, both analytically and numerically. From the configurations considered, a slab and a cylinder with a circular cross-section, we…

We address the statistics of continuous weak linear measurement on a few-state quantum system that is subject to a conditioned quantum evolution. For a conditioned evolution, both the initial and final states of the system are fixed: the…
By the adiabatic theorem, the probability of non-adiabatic transitions in a time-dependent quantum system vanishes in the adiabatic limit. The Landau-Zener (LZ) formula gives the leading functional behavior of the probability close to this…
A double--layer system in a strong perpendicular magnetic field is considered. We assume a random potential in each layer to be smooth. We also assume that there is no correlation between random potentials in different layers. Under these…
The typicality approach and the Hilbert space averaging method as its technical manifestation are important concepts of quantum statistical mechanics. Extensively used for expectation values we extend them in this paper to transition…
We compute Landau-Zener probabilities for 3-level systems with a linear sweep of the uncoupled energy levels of the 3$\times$3 Hamiltonian $H(t)$. Two symmetry classes of Hamiltonians are studied: For $H(t) \in$ su(2) (expressible as a…
We give a complete characterization of pretty good state transfer on paths between any pair of vertices with respect to the quantum walk model determined by the XY-Hamiltonian. If $n$ is the length of the path, and the vertices are indexed…
