Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on simulating a two-level quantum system connected by an off-diagonal Hamiltonian term, specifically exploring the effects of noise during a Landau–Zener transition. The user aims to incorporate noise associated with fluctuations in a magnetic field, which affects the energy splitting between the two levels during a linear sweep. They seek guidance on modeling this noise numerically and are interested in understanding how different noise amplitudes impact the transition probability. Suggestions for resources, such as papers or books on modeling noise in quantum systems, are requested to aid in this simulation. The ultimate goal is to solve the Schrödinger equation for the noisy system and analyze the transition probabilities.

Hello! I want to simulate a 2 level system in which the 2 levels are connected by an off-diagonal Hamiltonian term. I can linearly tune the distance between the 2 levels and thus I can transfer population from one to the other using a Landau–Zener transition. However, I want to add noise to this linear sweep. In my case the splitting between the 2 levels is adjusted by changing a magnetic field, but in practice the value of the magnetic field has some noise associated to it (due to noise in the current in the coils used to produce the magnetic field). I want to emphasize that that the noise leads to (small) changes in the magnetic while I do the linear sweep. So not only that the magnetic field is slightly different between different experimental runs, but it varies as a function of time while I perform the sweep. I would like to model this numerically and see the effect of different kind noise amplitude but I am not sure how to start. What is the easiest way to model noise in general and how should I proceed for more realistic representations of noise (any paper/book about this would be really appreciated, too)? In the end I would like to solve the Schrodinger equation associated to this 2x2 system in the presence of noise and extract the transition probability. Thank you!
 

Thread 'Angular Momentum Vector and Its Magnitude'

For the quantum state ##|l,m\rangle= |2,0\rangle## the z-component of angular momentum is zero and ##|L^2|=6 \hbar^2##. According to uncertainty it is impossible to determine the values of ##L_x, L_y, L_z## simultaneously. However, we know that ##L_x## and ## L_y##, like ##L_z##, get the values ##(-2,-1,0,1,2) \hbar##. In other words, for the state ##|2,0\rangle## we have ##\vec{L}=(L_x, L_y,0)## with ##L_x## and ## L_y## one of the values ##(-2,-1,0,1,2) \hbar##. But none of these...
