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 …

The advantages of quantum effects in several technologies, such as computation and
communication, have already been well appreciated. Some devices, such as quantum …

When a quantum system is driven slowly through a parametric cycle in a degenerate Hilbert
space, the state would acquire a non-Abelian geometric phase, which is stable and forms …

We consider a finite-time quantum Otto cycle with single-and two spin-1/2 systems as its
working medium. To mimic adiabatic dynamics at a finite time, we employ a shortcut-to …

A fully operational loss-free quantum battery requires an inherent control over the energy
transfer process, with the ability of keeping the energy retained with no leakage. Moreover, it …

Landauer's principle laid the main foundation for the development of modern
thermodynamics of information. However, in its original inception the principle relies on …

An energy gap develops near quantum critical point of quantum phase transition in a finite
many-body (MB) system, facilitating the ground state transformation by adiabatic parameter …

The study of optimal control of quantum annealing by modulating the pace of evolution and
by introducing a counterdiabatic potential has gained significant attention in recent times. In …

Starting from a geometric perspective, we derive a quantum speed limit for arbitrary open
quantum evolution, which could be Markovian or non-Markovian, providing a fundamental …

We investigate the effect of localization on the local charging of quantum batteries (QBs)
modeled by disordered spin systems. Two distinct schemes based on the transverse-field …
