摘要: We propose a universal analytical method of studying the dynamics of a multi-anticrossing system subjected to driving by a single large-amplitude triangle pulse, within a time scale smaller than the dephasing time. Our approach can explain the main features of the Landau—Zener—Stückelberg interference patterns recently observed in a tripartite system [Nature Communications 1 51 (2010)]. In particular, we focus on the effect of the size of the anticrossing on interference and compare the calculated interference patterns with numerical simulations. In addition, a Fourier transform of the patterns can extract the information about the energy level spectrum.
