Adiabatic process has found many important applications in modern physics, the distinct merit of which is that it does not need accurate control over the timing of the process. However, it is a slow process, which limits the application in…
A shortcut to adiabaticity (STA) is concerned with the fast and robust manipulation of the dynamics of a quantum system that reproduces the effect of an adiabatic process. A recently proposed method enables the generation of shortcuts from…
