Fast driving between arbitrary states of a quantum particle by trap deformation
arXiv:1609.01887 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevA.94.063418
Abstract
By performing a slow adiabatic change between two traps of a quantum particle, it is possible to transform an eigenstate of the original trap into the corresponding eigenstate of the final trap. If no level crossings are involved, the process can be made faster than adiabatic by setting first the interpolated evolution of the wave function from its initial to its final form and inferring from this evolution the trap deformation. We find a simple and compact formula which gives the trap shape at any time for any interpolation scheme. It is applicable even in complicated scenarios where there is no adiabatic process for the desired state-transformation, e.g., if the state changes its topological properties. We illustrate its use for the expansion of a harmonic trap, for the transformation of a harmonic trap into a linear trap and into an arbitrary number of traps of a periodic structure. Finally, we study the creation of a node exemplified by the passage from the ground state to the first excited state of a harmonic oscillator.
