Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast routes to the final results of slow, adiabatic changes
of the controlling parameters of a system. The shortcuts are designed by a set of analytical …

Quantum thermodynamics addresses the emergence of thermodynamic laws from quantum
mechanics. The viewpoint advocated is based on the intimate connection of quantum …

Thermodynamics originated in the need to understand novel technologies developed by the
Industrial Revolution. However, over the centuries, the description of engines, refrigerators …

This is a tutorial-style introduction to the field of molecular polaritons. We describe the basic
physical principles and consequences of strong light–matter coupling common to molecular …

One of the most widely known building blocks of modern physics is Heisenberg's
indeterminacy principle. Among the different statements of this fundamental property of the …

Quantum adiabatic processes—that keep constant the populations in the instantaneous
eigenbasis of a time-dependent Hamiltonian—are very useful to prepare and manipulate …

We propose a method for the fast generation of nonclassical ground states of the Rabi
model in the ultrastrong and deep-strong coupling regimes via the shortcuts-to-adiabatic …

The evolution of a system induced by counterdiabatic driving mimics the adiabatic dynamics
without the requirement of slow driving. Engineering it involves diagonalizing the …

We propose a method to speed up adiabatic passage techniques in two-level and three-
level atoms extending to the short-time domain their robustness with respect to parameter …

The quantum Otto cycle serves as a bridge between the macroscopic world of heat engines
and the quantum regime of thermal devices composed from a single element. We compile …
