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 technique of stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP), which allows efficient and
selective population transfer between quantum states without suffering loss due to …

It is control that turns scientific knowledge into useful technology: in physics and engineering
it provides a systematic way for driving a dynamical system from a given initial state into a …

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 …

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 …

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

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 …

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

Adiabatic processes are useful for quantum technologies,, but, despite their robustness to
experimental imperfections, they remain susceptible to decoherence due to their long …
