Shortcuts to adiabaticity

The concept of STA was introduced in a 2010 paper by Xi Chen et al.[1] Their design can be achieved using a variety of techniques.

[5] Motivated by one of authors systematic study of dissipative Landau-Zener transition, the key idea was demonstrated earlier by a group of scientists from China, Greece and USA in 2000, as steering an eigenstate to destination.

In the control of trapped quantum fluids, the use of symmetries such as scale invariance and the associated conserved quantities has allowed to circumvent this requirement.

[11] Fast nonadiabatic strokes of a quantum engine have been implemented using a three-dimensional interacting Fermi gas.

While the implementation of counterdiabatic driving across a phase transition requires complex many-body interactions, feasible approximate controls can be found.
