Inhomogeneity induced shortcut to adiabaticity in Ising chains with long-range interactions

Aritra Sinha, Debasis Sadhukhan, Marek M. Rams +1

Driving a homogeneous system across a quantum phase transition in a quench-time ${\tau }_Q$ generates excitations on wavelengths longer than the Kibble-Zurek (KZ) length $\hatξ\proptoτ_Q…
