Quantum optimal control, a toolbox for devising and implementing the shapes of external
fields that accomplish given tasks in the operation of a quantum device in the best way …

Shortcuts to adiabaticity are alternative fast processes which reproduce the same final state
as the adiabatic process in a finite or even shorter time, which have been extended from …

We look into the minimization of the connection time between nonequilibrium steady states.
As a prototypical example of an intrinsically nonequilibrium system, a driven granular gas is …

Fast and nearly lossless atomic transport, enabled by moving the confining trap, is a
prerequisite for many quantum-technology applications. While theoretical studies of this …

In this Letter, we apply a class of general two-level non-Hermitian Hamiltonians whose off-
diagonal elements are neither equal nor conjugate of each other to study the dynamical …

The overdamped Brownian dynamics of a harmonic oscillator is a paradigmatic system in
non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, which reliably models relevant stochastic systems …

We study the problem of minimising the connection time between non-equilibrium steady
states of the Brownian gyrator. This is a paradigmatic model in non-equilibrium statistical …

We review methods to shuttle quantum particles fast and robustly. Ideal robustness amounts
to the invariance of the desired transport results with respect to deviations, noisy or …
