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 …

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 …

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

The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a hybrid variational quantum-
classical algorithm that solves combinatorial optimization problems. While there is evidence …

Counterdiabatic (CD) driving presents a way of generating adiabatic dynamics at an
arbitrary pace, where excitations due to nonadiabaticity are exactly compensated by adding …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity are well-known methods for controlling the quantum dynamics
beyond the adiabatic criteria, where counterdiabatic (CD) driving provides a promising …

Achieving effectively adiabatic dynamics is a ubiquitous goal in almost all areas of quantum
physics. Here, we study the speed with which a quantum system can be driven when …

The working substance fueling a quantum heat engine may contain coherence in its energy
basis, depending on the dynamics of the engine cycle. In some models of quantum Otto heat …

Quantum speed limits set an upper bound to the rate at which a quantum system can evolve.
Adopting a phase-space approach, we explore quantum speed limits across the quantum-to …

Within the transport model evaluation project (TMEP) of simulations for heavy-ion collisions,
the mean-field response is examined here. Specifically, zero-sound propagation is …
