1306.0698 (Boyan T. Torosov et al.)

Non-Hermitian shortcut to adiabaticity    [PDF]

Boyan T. Torosov, Giuseppe Della Valle, Stefano Longhi
A non-Hermitian shortcut to adiabaticity is introduced. By adding an imaginary term in the diagonal elements of the Hamiltonian of a two state quantum system, we show how one can cancel the nonadiabatic losses and perform an arbitrarily fast population transfer, without the need to increase the coupling. We apply this technique to two popular level-crossing models: the Landau-Zener model and the Allen-Eberly model.
