Fast creation and transfer of coherence in triple quantum dots by using shortcuts to adiabaticity
Abstract:
Motivated by the progress on shortcuts to adiabaticity, we propose three schemes for speeding up (fractional) stimulated Raman adiabatic passage, and achieving rapid and non-adiabatic creation and transfer of maximal coherence in a triple-quantum-dot system. These different but relevant protocols, designed from counter-diabatic driving, dress-state method, and resonant technique, require their own pumping fields, applied gate voltages and varying tunneling couplings between two spatially separated dots. Such fast and reliable shortcuts not only allow for feasibly experimental realization in solid-state architectures but also may have potential applications in quantum information processing and quantum control.

Dot Product
In engineering, the dot product of any two vectors is the product of the magnitudes of the vectors and the cosine of the angle between them. It is denoted by a dot symbol between the two vectors.
Consider a vehicle pulling an object along the ground using a rope. If the rope makes an angle with the horizontal axis, the work done can be calculated using the dot product of the force applied and the object's displacement.
