Low-frequency spectroscopy for quantum multilevel systems

ORAL

Abstract

A periodically driven quantum system with avoided-level crossing experiences both nonadiabatic transitions and wave-function phase changes. These result in coherent interference fringes in the system’s occupation probabilities. For qubits, with repelling energy levels, such interference, named after Landau-Zener-Stückelberg-Majorana, displays arc-shaped resonance lines. In the case of a multilevel system with an avoided-level crossing of the two lower levels, we demonstrate that the shape of the resonances can change from convex arcs to concave heart-shaped and harp-shaped resonance lines. Indeed, the whole energy spectrum determines the shape of such resonance fringes and this also provides insight into the slow-frequency system spectroscopy. As a particular example, we consider this for valley-orbit silicon quantum dots, which are important for the emerging field of valleytronics.
