The adiabatic theorem states that if we prepare a quantum system in one of the instantaneous eigenstates then the quantum number is an adiabatic invariant and the state at a later time is equivalent to the instantaneous eigenstate at that…
We prove an adiabatic theorem for the non-autonomous Gross-Pitaevskii equation in the case of a weak trap. More precisely, we assume that the external potential decays suitably at infinity and admits exactly one bound state.
In this paper, we study spectral properties of a family of quasi-periodic Schrodinger operators on the real line in the adiabatic limit. We assume that the adiabatic iso-energetic curves are extended along the momentum direction. In the…
The first proof of the quantum adiabatic theorem was given as early as 1928. Today, this theorem is increasingly applied in a many-body context, e.g. in quantum annealing and in studies of topological properties of matter. In this setup,…
We consider small nonlinear perturbations of linear systems on a time scale with the phase space being finite or infinite-dimensional. For $\Delta$-differential operators, corresponding to linear dynamic systems we consider their…
For an unbounded operator $S$ on a Banach space the existence of invariant subspaces corresponding to its spectrum in the left and right half-plane is proved. The general assumption on $S$ is the uniform boundedness of the resolvent along…

We review the quantum adiabatic approximation for closed systems, and its recently introduced generalization to open systems (M.S. Sarandy and D.A. Lidar, e-print quant-ph/0404147). We also critically examine a recent argument claiming that…
We study linear operators $T$ on Banach spaces for which there exists a $C_0$-semigroup $(T(t))_{t\geq 0}$ such that $T=T(1)$. We present a necessary condition in terms of the spectral value 0 and give classes of examples where this can or…
We extend the calculus of adiabatic pseudo-differential operators to study the adiabatic limit behavior of the eta and zeta functions of a differential operator $\delta$, constructed from an elliptic family of operators indexed by $S^1$. We…
We consider dissipative operators $A$ of the form $A=S+iV$, where both $S$ and $V\geq 0$ are assumed to be symmetric but neither of them needs to be (essentially) selfadjoint. After a brief discussion of the relation of the operators $S\pm…
Let $X$ and $Y$ be Banach spaces, $A\,:\,X\rightarrow Y$ and $B,\,C\,:\,Y\rightarrow X$ be bounded linear operators. We prove that if $A(BA)^2=ABACA=ACABA=(AC)^2A,$ then $$\sigma_{*}(AC)\setminus\{0\}=\sigma_{*}(BA)\setminus\{0\}$$ where…
We calculate the optical spectra of silicon and germanium in the adiabatic time-dependent density functional formalism, making use of kinetic energy density-dependent (meta-GGA) exchange-correlation functionals. We find excellent agreement…
We derive a nearly optimal upper bound on the running time in the adiabatic theorem for a switching family of Hamiltonians. We assume the switching Hamiltonian is in the Gevrey class $G^\alpha$ as a function of time, and we show that the…
Adiabatic time evolution of quantum systems is a widely used tool with applications ranging from state preparation through simplifications of computations and topological transformations to optimization and quantum computing. Adiabatic time…

Quantum systems subject to time periodic fields of finite amplitude, lambda, have conventionally been handled either by low order perturbation theory, for lambda not too large, or by exact diagonalization within a finite basis of N states.…
