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 …

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 …

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

We derive STIRAP (stimulated Raman adiabatic passage) shortcuts to adiabaticity
maximizing population transfer in a three-level Λ quantum system, using spin-to-spring …

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 a thermodynamic cycle using a Bose–Einstein condensate (BEC) with
nonlinear interactions as the working medium. Exploiting Feshbach resonances to change …

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 …

We show that the quantum Fisher information attained in an adiabatic approach to critical
quantum metrology cannot lead to the Heisenberg limit of precision and therefore $ regular …

We quantitatively assess the energetic cost of several well-known control protocols that
achieve a finite time adiabatic dynamics, namely counterdiabatic and local counterdiabatic …
