Avoided crossing

In quantum physics and quantum chemistry, an avoided crossing (AC, sometimes called intended crossing, non-crossing or anticrossing) is the phenomenon where two eigenvalues of a Hermitian matrix representing a quantum observable and depending on k{\displaystyle k} continuous real parameters cannot become equal in value ("cross") except on a manifold of dimension k−2{\displaystyle k-2}.
