Abstract
An exact formula is derived for survival probability in the multistate Landau–Zener model in the special case where the initially populated state corresponds to the extremal (maximum or minimum) slope of a linear diabatic potential curve. The formula was originally guessed by S Brundobler and V Elzer (1993 J. Phys. A: Math. Gen. 26 1211) based on numerical calculations. It is a simple generalization of the expression for the probability of diabatic passage in the famous two-state Landau–Zener model. Our result is obtained via analysis and summation of the entire perturbation theory series.
