Abstract
Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states. Even though the interference between these transitions is known to be important, it is only recently that it became both accessible, controllable, and useful for manipulating a growing number of quantum systems. Here, we systematically study various aspects of LZSM physics and review the relevant literature, significantly expanding the review article in Ref. [504].
