We discuss solvable multistate Landau-Zener (MLZ) models whose Hamiltonians have commuting partner operators with $\sim 1/\tau$-time-dependent parameters. Many already known solvable MLZ models belong precisely to this class. We derive the…

We demonstrate that the general model of a linearly time-dependent crossing of two energy bands is integrable. Namely, the Hamiltonian of this model has a quadratically time-dependent commuting operator. We apply this property to four-state…
Recently, integrability conditions (ICs) in mutistate Landau-Zener (MLZ) theory were proposed [1]. They describe common properties of all known solved systems with linearly time-dependent Hamiltonians. Here we show that ICs enable efficient…
We discuss a class of models that generalize the two-state Landau-Zener (LZ) Hamiltonian to both the multistate and multitime evolution. It is already known that the corresponding quantum mechanical evolution can be understood in great…
We analyze Hamiltonians linear in the time variable for which the multistate Landau-Zener problem is known to have an exact solution. We show that they either belong to families of mutually commuting Hamiltonians polynomial in time or…

We propose a simple ansatz that allows to generate new exactly solvable multi-state Landau-Zener models. It is based on a system of two decoupled two-level atoms whose levels vary with time and cross at some moments. Then we consider…
We consider the level-crossing problem in a three-level system with non-linearly time-varying Hamiltonian (time-dependence $t^{-3}$). We study the validity of the so-called independent crossing approximation in the Landau-Zener model by…
