Zusammenfassung

We use recent results on precise coupling terms in the optimal sup eradiabatic basis in order to determine exp onentially small transition probabilities in the adiabatic limit of time-dep endent two-level systems. As examples, we discuss the Landau-Zener and the Rosen-Zener models.
