| Our recent discovery that under specific conditions (e.q., laser parameters) as more slowly the system parameters are turn on, the non-adiabatic corrections become more influential and lead to the breakdown of the adiabatic approach will be described. As an example I will discuss the non-adiabatic cooling mechanism of atoms and molecules.
