Robust state preparation in quantum simulations of Dirac dynamics

Abstract: A non-relativistic system such as an ultracold trapped ion may perform a quantum simulation of a Dirac equation dynamics under specific conditions. The resulting Hamiltonian and dynamics are highly controllable, but the coupling between momentum and internal levels poses some difficulties to manipulate the internal states accurately in wave packets. We use invariants of motion to inverse engineer robust population inversion processes with a homogeneous, time-dependent simulated electric field. This exemplifies… Show more

“…The goal of Song et al (2017) is instead to induce a fast and robust population inversion among the bare levels on a 1+1-dimensional Dirac equation for a charged particle simulated by ultracold trapped ions, designing a simulated electric field α t . The problem is that the coupling between momentum and internal levels in the Dirac equation changes with the momentum.…”

“…A variety of shortcut protocols have been developed including invariant-based inverse engineering [17,18], transitionless counterdiabatic driving [19][20][21][22], fast-forward methods [23][24][25] and methods based on unitary [26][27][28][29][30] or gauge [31] transformations. Quantum shortcuts to adiabaticity have been extended to non-Hermitian Hamiltonians [32,33], open quantum systems [34][35][36][37] and Dirac-dynamics [38][39][40]. They have been demonstrated experimentally [41][42][43][44][45][46], and their relationship with quantum speed limits has been clarified [47,48].…”

“…On the other hand, the adiabatic passage allows quantum system evolving robustly, but the speed of the evolution is relatively slow. For the robustness and high speed of evolution, a new method called “shortcut to adiabaticity” (STA) has been proposed and studied. STA makes the quantum system evolve in a controllable nonadiabatic way and be robust against decoherence.…”
