Description:
Author(s): S. S. Zhang, W. Gao, H. Cheng, L. You, and H. P. Liu We report the observation of a controlled Landau-Zener transition (LZT) in Rydberg atoms by breaking the symmetry of the underlying Hamiltonian. For a nonhydrogenic Rydberg atom inside a changing electric ( F ) field, a LZT occurs between the avoided crossing energy levels of neighboring Rydberg state... [Phys. Rev.
