Fast and Robust Quantum State Transfer via Optimal Transitionless Quantum Driving

Abstract

AbstractFor the past few years, shortcuts to adiabaticity have attracted great attention since they can avoid the necessity of slow driving for adiabatic method while inheriting the partial robustness of the adiabatic dynamics. In this paper, a universal approach to implement quantum state transfer in a three‐state system via optimal transitionless quantum driving is presented. The fast path is optimized for great robustness against uncontrolled systematic error by selecting appropriate experimental parameters. The robustness of the protocol is discussed via numerical simulations. Compared with conventional transitionless quantum driving and adiabatic passage, the protocol via optimized transitionless quantum driving possesses more robustness against the systematic error. Furthermore, decoherence arising from atomic spontaneous emission and dephasing only has a slight impact on the fidelity of quantum state transfer. This work opens up a new avenue for high‐fidelity quantum state transfer in the case of the uncontrolled errors.
