Quantitative sufficient conditions for adiabatic approximation

Two linear In this letter, we prove the following conclusions by introducing a function Fn（t）： （1） If a quantum system S with a time-dependent non-degenerate Hamiltonian H（t） is initially in the n-th eigenstate of H（0）, then the state of the system at time t will remain in the n-th eigenstate of H（t） up to a multiplicative phase factor if and only if the values Fn（t） for all t are always on the circle centered at 1 with radius 1; （2） If a quantum system S with a time-dependent Hamiltonian H（t） is initially in the n-th eigenstate of H（0）, then the state of the system at time t will remain c-uniformly approximately in the n-th eigenstate of H（t） up to a multiplicative phase factor if and only if the values F,（t） for all t are always outside of the circle centered at 1 with radius 1-ε. Moreover, some quantitative sufficient conditions for the state of the system at time t to remain ε-uniformly approximately in the n-th eigenstate of H（t） up to a multiplicative phase factor are established. Lastly, our results are illustrated by a spin-half particle in a rotating magnetic field.
