Adiabatic process (quantum mechanics)
In quantum mechanics, an adiabatic process is an infinitely slow change in the Hamiltonian of a system. Adiabatic processes are important idealizations of "sufficiently slow" processes and bear important consequences for quantum mechanics (see adiabatic theorem).
