Nonadiabatic multichannel dynamics of a spin-orbit-coupled condensate
Nonadiabatic multichannel dynamics of a spin-orbit-coupled condensate
We investigate the nonadiabatic dynamics of a driven spin-orbit-coupled Bose-Einstein condensate in both weak and strong driven force. It is shown that the standard Landau-Zener (LZ) tunneling fails in the regime of weak driven force and/or strong spin-orbital coupling, where the full nonadiabatic dynamics requires a new mechanism through multichannel …
