The final quantum state exhibits a peculiar entanglement between the qubit and the bath. In the special case of a diagonal coupling, the bath does not influence the transition probability, whatever the speed of the Landau-Zener sweep. It is proposed to use Landau-Zener transitions to determine both the reorganization energy and the integrated spectral density of the bath. Possible applications include circuit QED and molecular nanomagnets.4 pages, 1 figureMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsQuantum PhysicsGauging a quantum heat bath with dissipative Landau-Zener transitionstext
