Abstract
We use the quantum work statistics to characterize the controlled dynamics governed by a counterdiabatic driving field. Focusing on the Shannon entropy of the work probability distribution, P(W), we demonstrate that the thermodynamics of a controlled evolution serves as an insightful tool for studying the non-equilibrium dynamics of complex quantum systems. In particular, we show that the entropy of P(W) recovers the expected scaling according to the Kibble-Zurek mechanism for the Landau-Zener model. Furthermore, we propose that the entropy of the work distribution provides a useful summary statistic for characterizing the need and complexity of the control fields for many-body systems.
