Abstract
Quantum computing has long captivated the scientific community with its promise of solving complex problems that lie beyond the reach of classical computers. However, the road to practical quantum computation is fraught with challenges, particularly in ensuring the robustness and efficiency of quantum operations. In this talk, we delve into the fascinating realm of "Shortcuts to Adiabaticity" (STA) and explore how this cutting-edge approach can revolutionize quantum control and quantum computation. STA methods offer ingenious methods to achieving adiabatic-like behavior in quantum systems, bypassing the need for time-consuming adiabatic evolutions. We will focus on three key aspects that propel quantum computing towards a more accessible and powerful future: (i) Optimal shortcuts with machine learning: We will unveil how optimal control and machine learning play a pivotal role in discovering optimal shortcuts.
