We study adiabatic reverse annealing (ARA) in an open system. In the closed system (unitary) setting, this annealing protocol allows avoidance of first-order quantum phase transitions of selected models, resulting in an exponential speedup…
Adiabatic techniques using multi-level systems have recently been generalised from the optical case to settings in atom optics, solid state and even classical electrodynamics. The most well known example of these is the so called STIRAP…

In a recent work we have developed a robust chainwise atom-molecule adiabatic passage scheme to produce ultracold ground-state molecules via photo-associating free atoms [J. Qian {\it et.al.} Phys. Rev. A 81 013632 (2010)]. With the help of…
