Adiabatic processes are ubiquitous in physics and engineering. A drawback of such
processes is that they tend to be slow, either in time–for atomic systems, for example–or in …

Quantum control methods, like rapid adiabatic passage, stimulated Raman adiabatic
passage, shortcuts to adiabaticity and optimal control, have become an integral part of …

Shortcut to adiabatic passage (STAP), initially proposed to accelerate adiabatic quantum-
state transfer, has been widely explored and applied in quantum optics and integrated …

We use the method of shortcuts to adiabaticity to design the variable couplings in a three-
waveguide directional coupler which may contain nonlinear elements, in order to …

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 present an analog of the quantum-mechanical reversed fractional stimulated Raman
adiabatic passage (f-STIRAP) in an acoustic system by designing three-cavity couplers with …

We design and experimentally demonstrate compact and robust fast quasi-adiabatic
(FAQUAD) couplers for silicon-on-insulator (SOI) strip waveguides. The mode evolution …

We design and fabricate a series of broadband silicon arbitrary power splitters with various
split ratios using shortcuts to adiabaticity. In this approach, the system evolution is designed …

We demonstrate a quasi-adiabatic polarization-independent 2× 2 3 dB coupler based on the
silicon-on-insulator platform. Using a quasi-adiabatic taper design for the mode …

The fast quasi-adiabatic dynamics (FAQUAD) protocol has proven to be an effective
approach to provide shortcuts to adiabatic light evolution in optical waveguides, resulting in …
