18. The Floquet theory for periodically driven systems has been applied to this problem extensively as well. See, e.g., W. Magnus and S. Winkler, Hill's Equation (Dover, New York, 1966).
19. Another related problem that displays interesting features is that of a system traversing an avoided-crossing region while being driven by an oscillating field: Y. Kayanuma and Y. Mizumoto, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.62.061401 62, 061401 (R) (2000);

23. The usual RWA can also be described using the same reasoning used here. Starting from the initial Hamiltonian and after some algebra, one obtains an equation of motion with terms that oscillate with frequencies ω± 02 + Δ2. The terms that oscillate with frequency ω+ 02 + Δ2 are then neglected on the basis of their fast oscillations. See, e.g., C. W. Gardiner and P. Zoller, Quantum Noise (Springer, Heidelberg, 2004).

25. Furthermore, our results could help understand the behavior of other systems. For example, results with features similar to those of our results were obtained in the study of transport in periodic potentials; J. Rotvig, A. P. Jauho, and H. Smith, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.74. 1831 74, 1831 (1995);

27. Recently there have been some results on LZ crossings using non-linear ramps; F. Gaitan, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.68.052314 68, 052314 (2003);
