- Summary:
- Quasi-adiabatic theory has broad applications across disciplines, from quantum computing and cosmology to materials science and atomic physics. This textbook offers a comprehensive introduction to quasi-adiabatic effects and their applications. In modern physics, the term 'adiabatic' refers to the infinitely slow evolution limit. Quasi-adiabatic theory, by contrast, describes time-dependent processes that are slow but not truly adiabatic. This theory is especially rich in effects that can be understood even in systems with complex many-body interactions
