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

Speed is the key to further advances in technology. For example, quantum technologies,
such as quantum computing, require fast manipulations of quantum systems in order to …

We consider a two-level system with a fixed energy spacing (detuning) between the two
levels and a single transverse control field which can take values between zero and a …

Delta-kick cooling (DKC) is used to compress the momentum distribution of ultracold
quantum matter. It combines expansion dynamics with the use of kick pulses, designed via …

We consider fast high-fidelity quantum control by using a shortcut to adiabaticity (STA)
technique and optimal control theory (OCT). Three specific examples, including expansion …

Bose-Einstein condensates can be used to produce work by tuning the strength of the
interparticle interactions with the help of Feshbach resonances. In inhomogeneous …

In this article we consider a bosonic Josephson junction, a model system composed by two
coupled nonlinear quantum oscillators which can be implemented in various physical …

We propose a method for shortcut to adiabatic control of soliton matter waves in harmonic
traps. The tunable interaction controlled by Feshbach resonance is inversely designed to …

Shortcuts to adiabatic expansion of the effectively one-dimensional Bose–Einstein
condensate (BEC) loaded in the harmonic-oscillator (HO) trap are investigated by combining …

In this paper we use optimal control to design minimum-time adiabatic-like paths for the
expansion of a quantum piston. Under realistic experimental constraints, we calculate the …
