Shortcuts to adiabaticity
Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast control protocols to drive the dynamics of system without relying on the adiabatic theorem. The concept of STA was introduced in a 2010 paper by Xi Chen et al.[1] Their design can be achieved using a variety of techniques.[2][3] A universal approach is provided by counterdiabatic driving,[4] also known as transitionless quantum driving.[5] Motivated by one of authors systematic study of dissipative Landau-Zener transition, the key idea was demonstrated earlier by a group of scientists from China, Greece and USA in 2000, as steering an eigenstate to destination. [6] Counterdiabatic driving has been demonstrated in the laboratory using a time-dependent quantum oscillator. [7]
The use of counterdiabatic driving requires to diagonalize the system Hamiltonian, limiting its use in many-particle systems. In the control of trapped quantum fluids, the use of symmetries such as scale invariance and the associated conserved quantities has allowed to circumvent this requirement.[8][9][10] STA have also found applications in finite-time quantum thermodynamics to suppress quantum friction.[11] Fast nonadiabatic strokes of a quantum engine have been implemented using a three-dimensional interacting Fermi gas.[12][13]
The use of STA has also been suggested to drive a quantum phase transition.[14] In this context, the Kibble-Zurek mechanism predicts the formation of topological defects. While the implementation of counterdiabatic driving across a phase transition requires complex many-body interactions, feasible approximate controls can be found.[15][16][17]
