Shortcuts to adiabaticity in many-body systems

Adolfo del Campo, Los Alamos National Laboratory

(Session 9b : Friday from 5:00pm - 5:30pm)

The evolution of a system induced by counter-diabatic driving mimics the adiabatic dynamics without the requirement of slow driving. Engineering it involves diagonalizing the instantaneous Hamiltonian of the system and results in the need of auxiliary non-local interactions for matter-waves. Here experimentally realizable driving protocols are presented for a large class of single-particle, many-body, and non-linear systems without demanding the spectral properties as an input. The method is applied to the fast decompression of quantum fluids realizing a dynamical quantum microscope, as well as to the fast transport of ion chains.
