Robust Diabatic Quantum Search by Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg Oscillations

Quantum computation by the adiabatic theorem requires a slowly varying Hamiltonian with respect to the spectral gap. We show that the Landau-Zener-St\"uckelberg oscillation phenomenon, that naturally occurs in quantum two level systems under non-adiabatic periodic drive, can be exploited to find the ground state of an N dimensional Grover Hamiltonian. The total runtime of this method is $O(\sqrt{2^n})$ which is equal to the computational time of the Grover algorithm in the quantum circuit model. An additional periodic drive can suppress a large subset of Hamiltonian control errors using coherent destruction of tunneling, providing superior performance compared to standard algorithms.
