• Authors: R. G. Unanyan, N. V. Vitanov, and M. Fleischhauer
• Abstract summary: We show that an adiabatic control of eigenstates can be used to induce perfectly quantized single-particle transport across a pre-determined number of lattice sites. We dedicate this paper to the memory of our late friend and colleague Bruce Shore, who was an expert in adiabatic processes and taught us much about this field.

• Abstract: The Born-Fock theorem is one of the most fundamental theorems of quantum mechanics and forms the basis for reliable and efficient navigation in the Hilbert space of a quantum system with a time-dependent Hamiltonian by adiabatic evolution. In the absence of level crossings, i.e. without degeneracies, and under adiabatic time evolution all eigenstates of the Hamiltonian keep their energetic order, labelled by a conserved integer quantum number. Thus controlling the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and their energetic order in asymptotic limits allows to engineer a perfect adiabatic transfer between a large number of initial and target states. The fidelity of the state transfer is only limited by adiabaticity and the selection of target states is controlled by the integer invariant labelling the order of eigenstates. We here show for the example of a finite superlattice Wannier-Stark ladder, i.e. a one-dimensional lattice with alternating hopping amplitudes and constant potential gradient, that such an adiabatic control of eigenstates can be used to induce perfectly quantized single-particle transport across a pre-determined number of lattice sites. We dedicate this paper to the memory of our late friend and colleague Bruce Shore, who was an expert in adiabatic processes and taught us much about this field.

• Exact counterdiabatic driving for finite topological lattice models [0.0]
  Counterdiabatic driving is a technique to speed up adiabatic protocols by including additional terms calculated from the instantaneous eigenstates that counter diabatic excitations. We formulate this approach for all states of lattice models, including bound and in-gap states which appear, e.g., in topological insulators. The derived analytical counterdiabatic driving Hamiltonian can be utilised to inform control protocols in many-body lattice models or to probe the non-equilibrium properties of lattice models.

  Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) provides a lucrative platform to determine molecular energetics in quantum devices. We propose a unified VQE framework that treats the ground and excited states in the same footings. We introduce the notion of totally symmetric, spin-scalar unitary which maintains the purity of the reference at each step of the optimization.

  Local Hamiltonians of fermionic systems on a lattice can be mapped onto local qubit Hamiltonians. Maintaining locality comes at the expense of increasing the Hilbert space with auxiliary degrees of freedom. We demonstrate how maintaining locality allows one to carry out a Trotterized time-evolution with constant circuit depth per time step.
