The adiabatic theorem is a fundamental result established in the early days of quantum mechanics, which states that a system can be kept arbitrarily close to the instantaneous ground state of its Hamiltonian if the latter varies in time…
The relation between the distribution of work performed on a classical system by an external force switched on an arbitrary timescale, and the corresponding equilibrium free energy difference, is generalized to quantum systems. Using the…

We introduce the idea of using adiabatic rotation to generate superpositions of a large class of quantum states. For quantum computing this is an interesting alternative to the well-studied "straight line" adiabatic evolution. In ways that…

We establish adiabatic theorems with and without spectral gap condition for general operators $A(t): D(A(t)) \subset X \to X$ with possibly time-dependent domains in a Banach space $X$. We first prove adiabatic theorems with uniform and…
We study under what conditions the quantum adiabaticity is maintained in a closed many-body system consisting of a one-dimensional fluid and an impurity particle dragged through the latter by an external force. We employ an effective theory…

With the aim of describing real-time electron dynamics, we introduce an adiabatic approximation for the equation of motion of the one-body reduced-density matrix (one-matrix). The eigenvalues of the one-matrix, which represent the…
Resonances in quantum mechanics are commonly introduced as quasi-bound states embedded in the continuum, a perspective that can be conceptually challenging due to the abstract nature of continuum states. In this work, we discuss an…
We derive a generic bound on the rate of decrease of transverse field for quantum annealing to converge to the ground state of a generic Ising model when quantum annealing is formulated as an infinite-time process. Our theorem is based on a…

The Tavis-Cummings model for more than one qubit interacting with a common oscillator mode is extended beyond the rotating wave approximation (RWA). We explore the parameter regime in which the frequencies of the qubits are much smaller…
The energy and the width of resonance states are determined by analytic continuation of bound-state energies as a function of the coupling constant (potential strength). The advantage of the method is that the existing techniques for…
