Partial Reversibility and Counterdiabatic Driving in Nearly Integrable Systems

Rohan Banerjee, Shahyad Khamnei, Anatoli Polkovnikov +1 more

Adiabatic (or reversible) processes are the key concept unifying our understanding of thermodynamics and dynamical systems. Reversibility in the thermodynamic sense is understood as entropy-preserving processes, such as in the idealized Carnot engine, whereas in integrable dynamical systems it is understood as the conservation of the action variables. Between these two idealized limits, however, things are much less clear. In this work, we study several toy models to assess the extent to which reversible processes are even possible in this regime. We then explore how the dissipative losses resulting from rapidly driving these kinds of systems can be fought by approximate counterdiabatic driving. Finally, we provide numerical evidence that much of the phenomenology should be the same for quantum many-body systems with large degeneracy in the presence of integrability breaking perturbations.

Counterdiabatic reverse annealing

Gianluca Passarelli, Procolo Lucignano

We present counterdiabatic reverse annealing, a quantum annealing protocol that extends the range of application of reverse annealing to the previously inaccessible short-time domain. This is achieved by exploiting approximate counterdiabatic driving expanded in low-order nested commutators. In this work, we offer a comparative study of the performance of this technique to that of unassisted reverse annealing in terms of metrics such as the ground-state fidelity and the time to solution. We provide a quantitative measure of the energetic cost of counterdiabatic reverse annealing and show that significant improvements are possible even using local counterdiabatic potentials, paving the way toward the experimental implementation in near-term quantum devices.

Performance of shortcut-to-adiabaticity quantum engines

Obinna Abah, Eric Lutz

We consider a paradigmatic quantum harmonic Otto engine operating in finite time. We investigate its performance when shortcut-to-adiabaticity techniques are used to speed up its cycle. We compute efficiency and power by taking the energetic cost of the shortcut driving explicitly into account. We analyze in detail three different shortcut methods: counterdiabatic driving, local counterdiabatic driving, and inverse engineering. We demonstrate that all three lead to a simultaneous increase of efficiency and power for fast cycles, thus outperforming traditional heat engines.
