Enantio-specific state transfer of chiral molecules through enantio-selective shortcut-to-adiabaticity paths

An interesting method of fast enantio-specific state transfer is proposed for cyclic three-level systems of chiral molecules. We show that the fast population transfer via shortcut to adiabaticity can be accomplished for the cyclic three-level system of a general (chiral) molecule with invariant-based inverse engineering of the coupling strengths. By choosing appropriate parameters, the two enantiomers, which are initially prepared in their ground states in the three-level systems, will evolve respectively along their enantio-selective shortcut-to-adiabaticity paths to different-energy final states simultaneously, namely achieving the fast enantio-specific state transfer.
