Shortcuts to adiabaticity for an ion in a rotating radially-tight trap

Quantum Physics 2016-08-03 v2

Abstract

We engineer the fast rotation of a quantum particle confined in an effectively one-dimensional, harmonic trap, for a predetermined rotation angle and time, avoiding final excitation. Different schemes are proposed with different speed limits that depend on the control capabilities. We also make use of trap rotations to create squeezed states without manipulating the trap frequencies.
