Attendance at QTech 2024 and oral presentation
Dr. Andreas Ruschhaupt has attended the international conference on quantum technology QTech 2024 from 10-12 September in Berlin (Germany) (https://premc.org/conferences/qtech-quantum-technology/).
During the conference, he also gave an oral presentation on the latest results of the SFI Frontiers for the Future Project "Shortcut-Enhanced Quantum Thermodynamics".
Further details on the talk provided are as follows:
"The fast and robust control of quantum states is of the utmost importance for all quantum technologies.
Shortcuts to Adiabaticity (STA), which are studied in my research group, are such fast and robust quantum control protocols motivated by adiabatic processes and mainly derived using analytical techniques. However, there are still quantum systems where these STA methods cannot be applied. Therefore, in this talk, I have presented a new technique for such scenarios, called “Enhanced Shortcuts to Adiabaticity” (eSTA), developed in the SFI Frontiers for the Future Project "Shortcut-Enhanced Quantum Thermodynamics". This new method works for previously intractable Hamiltonians by providing an easy to calculate analytical correction to existing STA protocols. I have also shown applications of eSTA to the the transport of a quantum particle in an anharmonic optical trap and as well as applications of eSTA to spin squeezing in internal bosonic Josephson junctions."
