Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are fast routes to the final results of slow, adiabatic changes
of the controlling parameters of a system. The shortcuts are designed by a set of analytical …

Transforming an initial quantum state into a target state through the fastest possible route—a

We consider fast high-fidelity quantum control by using a shortcut to adiabaticity (STA)
technique and optimal control theory (OCT). Three specific examples, including expansion …

We investigate fast transport and spin manipulation of tunable spin-orbit-coupled Bose-

Bang-bang control is often used to implement a minimal-time shortcut to adiabaticity for
efficient transport of atoms in a moving harmonic trap. However, drastic changes of the on-off …
