Decoherence-assisted quantum driving

Abstract

We propose a protocol for transitionless driving of a bound quantum system in its parameter space using repeated measurement-like interactions with an external spectator system. As a consequence of the quantum Zeno effect, the fidelity of the final state preparation is equal to unity in the limit of infinite-rate interactions. For finite-rate interactions, the maximal fidelity is achieved for the driving trajectory having a minimal geometric length and keeping a constant speed with respect to the Provost-Vallee metric in the parameter space. We numerically test the protocol in an interacting multiqubit system, demonstrating its dominance over the method of coherent driving.
