Abstract:
We consider interaction of a single level with a broad, tending to semi-infinite continuum. In an example of two exactly solvable
problems, we show that for time dependent quantum systems the probability of the irreversible transition from a discrete level
to a continuum is strongly inhibited or even completely suppressed by the presence of a discrete adiabatic level near the
continuum edge.
