Nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling under biharmonic driving
Abstract
We address the response of a two-mode Bose-Einstein condensate to a biharmonic high-frequency driving field that directly couples the two mode. By use of a high-frequency approximation we find that asymmetric biharmonic high-frequency driving yields new effects on Nonlinear Landau-Zener tunneling as compared to a symmetric off-diagonal modulation. In particular, we detect an unclosed loop structure and the disappearance of the energy level below the loop structure.
