Adiabatic protocols are often employed in state preparation schemes but require the system to be driven by a slowly varying Hamiltonian so that transitions between instantaneous eigenstates are exponentially suppressed. Counterdiabatic…

We show that the energy required by a turbulent flow to displace a given amount of fluid through a straight duct in a given time interval can be reduced by modulating in time the pumping power. The control strategy is hybrid: it is passive,…
