We explain the concept of superadiabatic approximations and show how in the context of the Born- Oppenheimer approximation they lead to an explicit formula that can be used to predict transitions at avoided crossings. Based on this formula,…

With the aim of describing real-time electron dynamics, we introduce an adiabatic approximation for the equation of motion of the one-body reduced-density matrix (one-matrix). The eigenvalues of the one-matrix, which represent the…

In this paper, we address the motion of charged particles acted upon by a sinusoidal electrostatic wave, whose amplitude and phase velocity vary slowly enough in time for neo-adiabatic theory to apply. Moreover, we restrict to the situation…

We present a unified theory for wave-packet dynamics of electrons in crystals subject to perturbations varying slowly in space and time. We derive the wave-packet energy up to the first order gradient correction and obtain all kinds of…

We investigate a simple and robust scheme for choosing the phases of adiabatic electronic states smoothly (as a function of geometry) so as to maximize the performance of ab initio non-adiabatic dynamics methods. Our approach is based upon…

Recent work has shown that the low energy sector of certain quantum Hall states is adiabatically connected to simple charge-density-wave patterns that appear, e.g., when the system is deformed into a thin torus. Here it is shown that the…
