Avoided crossings in spin-boson systems: consequences for adiabatic state preparation

arXiv:2609.29858v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Avoided crossings in the correlated many-body spectrum play a central role in determining the conditions for adiabatic state preparation in interacting quantum systems. We investigate this connection in finite spin-boson systems by combining exact diagonalization of the many-body spectrum with time-dependent simulations of adiabatic switching protocols. By comparing the adiabatically prepared state with the exact ground state, we determine the switching times required for reliable preparation as a function of the spin-boson coupling strength and bosonic mode structure. We show that regions of small many-body level spacings, associated with avoided crossings, impose the strongest constraints on adiabatic preparation and explain the observed dependence of the required switching times on the interaction strength. Furthermore, while the ground-state energy follows the overall spectral trends, local observables such as Pauli matrix expectation values exhibit additional non-monotonic behavior arising from coherent oscillations in finite systems. These findings can provide concrete benchmarks for both the theoretical treatment of open quantum systems and practical implementations in quantum simulation and qubit control.
