adiabatic approximation

adiabatic approximation An ap­proximation used in quantum me­chanics when the time dependence of parameters, such as the internuclear distance between atoms in a molecule, is slowly varying. This ap­proximation means that the solution of the Schrodinger equation at one time goes continuously over to the solution at a later time. It was formu­lated by Max Born and the Soviet physicist …
