| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Since Sep. 2019, we focused on the following two topics:
(1). The ground state of a ultrastrong coupling system involves an appreciable number of virtual cavity photons. We investigated the possibility of using shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) to rapidly convert these virtual photons into real ones. The photons, with the energy from the driving fields, are produced by the counter-rotating effects of the light-matter coupling. By modifying the shape of the driving fields, we construct shortcuts to attain the target state, so that the evolution can be 5 times faster than that via adiabatic passages. Such a faster evolution can benefit to the robustness against photon loss.
(2). The ground state of the quantum Rabi model consists of photonic Schrodinger's cat states entangled with the atom and exhibits nonclassical properties such as squeezing. This provides a possibility to generate non-classical. We studied the possibility of using STA to modify the parameters for a simulated quantum Rabi model to rapidly generate non-classical states. By applying the counterdiabatic driving, the time required to reach the target state is 100 times shorter than that via adiabatic passage. Therefore, our accelerated scheme is much more robust against dissipations.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
We have almost finished the mathematics and the numerical simulations for the theoretical schemes. And we have started written manuscripts according to the results we have obtained. The papers will be soon summited to appropriate journals for peer review.
|
| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
In the following months, we will complete the current work and summit the papers. Then, we are going to do more research in the ultrastrong coupling systems. And we will discuss how to use accelerated quantum control methods in controlling a ultrastrong coupling system (or a simulated ultrastrong coupling system) to realize quantum information processing. For instance, we will investigate the possibility of applying Shortcuts to adiabaticity in ultrastrong coupling system to realize quantum gates and quantum computing.
