The adiabatic theorem states that when the time evolution of the Hamiltonian is "infinitely slow", a system, when started in the ground state, remains in the instantaneous ground state at all times. This, however, does not mean that the…

We consider quantum dynamics for which the strict adiabatic approximation fails but which do not escape too far from the adiabatic limit. To treat these systems we introduce a generalisation of the time dependent wave operator theory which…

We map adiabatic quantum evolution on the classical Hamiltonian dynamics of a 1D gas (Pechukas gas) and simulate the latter numerically. This approach turns out to be both insightful and numerically efficient, as seen from our example of a…

Adiabatic elimination methods allow the reduction of the space dimension needed to describe systems dynamics which exhibits separation of time scale. For open quantum system, it consists in eliminating the fast part assuming it has almost…

In open quantum systems theory, reduced models are invaluable for conceptual understanding and computational efficiency. Adiabatic elimination is a useful model reduction method for systems with separated timescales, where a reduced model…

Adiabatic evolution is a powerful technique in quantum information and computation. However, its performance is limited by the adiabatic theorem of quantum mechanics. In this scenario, shortcuts to adiabaticity, such as provided by the…
