Abstract

The transitionless tracking (TT) algorithm enables the exact tracking of quantum adiabatic dynamics in an arbitrary short time by adding a counterdiabatic Hamiltonian to the original adiabatic Hamiltonian. By applying Husimi's method originally developed for a quantum parametric oscillator (QPO) to the transitionless QPO achieved using the TT algorithm, we obtain the transition probability generating function with a time-dependent parameter constituted with solutions of the corresponding classical parametric oscillator (CPO). By obtaining the explicit solutions of this CPO using the phase-amplitude method, we find that the time-dependent parameter can be reduced to the frequency ratio between the Hamiltonians without and with the counterdiabatic Hamiltonian, from which we can easily characterize the result achieved by the TT algorithm. We illustrate our theory by showing the trajectories of the CPO on the classical phase space, which elucidate the effect of the counterdiabatic Hamiltonian of the QPO.

Quantum dynamics of a driven parametric oscillator in a Kerr medium

Elmira Bolandhemmat, Fardin Kheirandish

In this paper, we first analyze a parametric oscillator with both mass and frequency time-dependent. We show that the evolution operator can be obtained from the evolution operator of another parametric oscillator with a constant mass and time-dependent frequency followed by a time transformation [Formula: see text]. Then we proceed by investigating the quantum dynamics of a parametric oscillator with unit mass and time-dependent frequency in a Kerr medium under the influence of a time-dependent force along the motion of the oscillator. The quantum dynamics of the time-dependent oscillator is analyzed from both analytical and numerical points of view in two main regimes: (i) small Kerr parameter [Formula: see text], and (ii) small confinement parameter k. In the following, to investigate the characteristics and statistical properties of the generated states, we calculate the autocorrelation function, the Mandel Q parameter, and the Husimi Q-function.

Generating shortcuts to adiabaticity in quantum and classical dynamics

Christopher Jarzynski

Transitionless quantum driving achieves adiabatic evolution in a hurry, using a counterdiabatic Hamiltonian to stifle nonadiabatic transitions. Here this shortcut to adiabaticity is cast in terms of a generator of adiabatic transport. This yields a classical analog of transitionless driving, and provides a strategy for constructing quantal counterdiabatic Hamiltonians. As an application of this framework, exact classical and quantal counterdiabatic terms are obtained for a particle in a box and for even-power-law potentials in one degree of freedom.

Transitionless quantum drivings for the harmonic oscillator

Juan Gonzalo Muga, Xi Chen, Sara Ibañez +2 more

Two methods to change a quantum harmonic oscillator frequency without transitions in a finite time are described and compared. The first method, a transitionless-tracking algorithm, makes use of a generalized harmonic oscillator and a non-local potential. The second method, based on engineering an invariant of motion, only modifies the harmonic frequency in time, keeping the potential local at all times.

Generalized transitionless quantum driving for open quantum systems

Alan C. Santos, M. S. Sarandy

A general approach for transitionless quantum driving in open quantum systems is introduced. Under the assumption of adiabatic evolution for time-local master equations, we derive the generalized transitionless Lindbladian required to implement a shortcut to adiabaticity in an open-system scenario. The general counterdiabatic Lindbladian obtained accounts for a phase freedom, which translates into a set of free parameters throughout the dynamics. We discuss how our generalized approach allows us to recover the transitionless Lindbladian introduced by Vacanti et al. [G. Vacanti et al. New J. Phys. 16, 053017 (2014)]. We show how to engineer time-independent master equations that provide the same dynamics as the time-dependent master equation provided by the standard transitionless quantum driving in open systems. We illustrate our results by applying them both to the adiabatic Deutsch algorithm under dephasing and to the Landau-Zener Hamiltonian under a bit phase flip.

Quantum Dynamics Using Lie Algebras, with Explorations in the Chaotic Behavior of Oscillators

Ryan Sayer

We study the time evolution of driven quantum systems using analytic, algebraic, and numerical methods. First, we obtain analytic solutions for driven free and oscillator systems by shifting the coordinate and phase of the undriven wave function. We also factorize the quantum evolution operator using the generators of the Lie algebra comprising the Hamiltonian. We obtain coupled ODE's for the time evolution of the Lie algebra parameters. These parameters allow us to find physical properties of oscillator dynamics. In particular we find phase-space trajectories and transition probabilities. We then search for chaotic behavior in the Lie algebra parameters as a signature for dynamical chaos in the quantum system. We plot the trajectories, transition probabilities, and Lyapunov exponents for a wide range of the following physical parameters: strength and duration of the driving force, frequency difference, and anharmonicity of the oscillator. We identify conditions for the appearance of chaos in the system.

Transitionless driving on adiabatic search algorithm

Sangchul Oh, Sabre Kais

We study quantum dynamics of the adiabatic search algorithm with the equivalent two-level system. Its adiabatic and non-adiabatic evolution is studied and visualized as trajectories of Bloch vectors on a Bloch sphere. We find the change in the non-adiabatic transition probability from exponential decay for the short running time to inverse-square decay in asymptotic running time. The scaling of the critical running time is expressed in terms of the Lambert W function. We derive the transitionless driving Hamiltonian for the adiabatic search algorithm, which makes a quantum state follow the adiabatic path. We demonstrate that a uniform transitionless driving Hamiltonian, approximate to the exact time-dependent driving Hamiltonian, can alter the non-adiabatic transition probability from the inverse square decay to the inverse fourth power decay with the running time. This may open up a new but simple way of speeding up adiabatic quantum dynamics.
