• Abstract: In this thesis, it is presented a set of results in adiabatic dynamics (closed and open system) and transitionless quantum driving that promote some advances in our understanding on quantum control and Hamiltonian inverse engineering. In the context of adiabatic dynamics in closed systems, it is introduced a validation mechanism for the adiabaticity conditions by studing the system dynamics from a non-inertial reference frame. By considering a decohering scenario, validity conditions of the adiabatic approximation are also studied. As a fresh general result with potential applications, it is shown that under decoherence the adiabaticity may still occur in the infinite time limit, as it happens for closed systems, for a class of initial quantum states. To end, the original contributions of this thesis to the theory of shortcuts to adiabaticity refers to a generalized approach of transitionless quantum driving, where one explores the gauge freedom of the quantal phase factors accompanying adiabatic trajectories. A number of theoretical applications are studied, where some theoretical prediction presented in this thesis are experimentally verified through two different experimental setups, namely a qubit encoded in the energy hyperfine structure of a Ytterbium trapped ion, and in nuclear magnetic resonance with a nuclear spin qubit.

  Unavoidable coupling of quantum systems to external degrees of freedom leads to dissipative (non-unitary) dynamics. We introduce a method to deal with these systems based on the calculation of (dissipative) lattice Green's function. We illustrate the power of this method with several examples of driven-dissipative bosonic chains of increasing complexity.

  We introduce sufficient conditions for the adiabatic approximation in open quantum systems. We first illustrate our results by showing that the adiabatic approximation for open systems is compatible with the description of quantum thermodynamics at thermal equilibrium. We also apply our sufficient conditions as a tool in quantum control, evaluating the adiabatic behavior for the Hamiltonians of both the Deutsch algorithm and the Landau-Zener model under decoherence.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.
