Since the pioneering works by Landau, Zener, Stückelberg, and Majorana (LZSM), it has
been known that driving a quantum two-level system results in tunneling between its states …

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 …

The aim of this review is to provide quantum engineers with an introductory guide to the
central concepts and challenges in the rapidly accelerating field of superconducting …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity provide fast protocols for quantum state preparation in which the
use of auxiliary counterdiabatic controls circumvents the requirement of slow driving in …

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 …

Photonic cat states stored in high-Q resonators show great promise for hardware efficient
universal quantum computing. We propose an approach to efficiently prepare such cat …

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

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

The transverse field Ising and XY models (the simplest quantum spin models) provide the
organising principle for the rich variety of interconnected subjects which are covered in this …

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