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 …

Optimization, sampling and machine learning are topics of broad interest that have inspired
significant developments and new approaches in quantum computing. One such approach …

Adiabatic quantum computing (AQC) started as an approach to solving optimization
problems and has evolved into an important universal alternative to the standard circuit …

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 …

We uncover a topological classification applicable to open fermionic systems governed by a
general class of Lindblad master equations. These “quadratic Lindbladians” can be …

Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are powerful generative models with the salient ability to
perform inference. Here, we introduce a quantum variational autoencoder (QVAE): a VAE …

The number of topological defects created in a system driven through a quantum phase
transition exhibits a power-law scaling with the driving time. This universal scaling law is the …

Markovian reservoir engineering, in which time evolution of a quantum system is governed
by a Lindblad master equation, is a powerful technique in studies of quantum phases of …

We develop a perturbation theory of quantum (and classical) master equations with slowly
varying parameters, applicable to systems which are externally controlled on a time scale …

A one-dimensional dissipative Hubbard model with two-body loss is shown to be exactly
solvable. We obtain an exact eigenspectrum of a Liouvillian superoperator by employing a …
