description

The thesis is devoted to the fundamental problem of excitation and manipulation of quantum systems, having discrete energy spectrum, via external laser fields. We examine the semiclassical time- dependent quantum two-state problem, when the external electromagnetic field is resonant or quasi-resonant for some two of many levels of the system. The focus of the thesis is on the analytic description of the non- adiabatic evolution of quantum systems subject to excitation by level-crossing field configurations. In the present thesis we classify the complete set of the semiclassical time-dependent quantum two-state models solvable in terms of the five function of the Heun class.Main results of the thesis are:1. In total 61 infinite classes of two-state models (i.e. external laser field configurations) solvable in terms of general and confluent Heun functions are derived.2. In these infinite classes three original level-crossing submodels are identified: one describes infinite (periodical) crossings of resonance, one describes asymmetric resonance crossing with a finite time of process and the last one describes infinite asymmetric resonance crossing process. The behavior of the two-state quantum system under these field configurations is comprehensively analyzed.3. Solutions of the Heun equations in terms of incomplete Beta functions, Kummer confluent hypergeometric functions and non-integer-order Hermite functions of a shifted and scaled argument are constructed.4. Analytic solutions of the quantum two-state problem are projected on the relativistic and non-relativistic wave-equations: new potentials for the Schrödinger and Klein-Gordon equations are derived and solved.
