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 …

Quantum manipulation of macroscopic mechanical systems is of great interest in both
fundamental physics and applications ranging from high-precision metrology to quantum …

We examine the stability versus different types of perturbations of recently proposed
shortcuts to adiabaticity to speed up the population inversion of a two-level quantum system …

Different methods have been recently put forward and implemented experimentally to
inverse engineer the time-dependent Hamiltonian of a quantum system and accelerate slow …

We design, by invariant-based inverse engineering, resonant laser pulses to perform fast
population transfers in three-level systems. The laser intensities to improve the fidelity or to …

Cooling of mesoscopic mechanical resonators represents a primary concern in cavity
optomechanics. In this Letter, in the strong optomechanical coupling regime, we propose to …

We propose to cool a mechanical resonator close to its ground state via an
electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT)-like cooling mechanism in a double-cavity …

Motional ground-state cooling and quantum-coherent manipulation of mesoscopic
mechanical systems are crucial goals in both fundamental physics and applied science. We …

We present an investigation of the fast decompression of a three-dimensional (3D) Bose-
Einstein condensate (BEC) at finite temperature using an engineered trajectory for the …

Quantum manipulation of coupled mechanical resonators has become an important
research topic in optomechanics because these systems can be used to study the quantum …
