An effective shortcut to adiabatic passage for fast quantum state transfer in a cavity quantum electronic dynamics system

Abstract

We propose an alternative scheme for constructing a shortcut to implement the quantum state transfer between two three-level atoms founded on the invariant-based inverse engineering in a cavity quantum electronic dynamics (QED) system. Quantum information can be quickly transferred between atoms by taking advantage of the cavity field as a medium. Through our design of the time-dependent laser pulse and atom–cavity coupling, we send atoms through the cavity within a short time interval, which involves the two processes of the invariant dynamics between each atom and the cavity field simultaneously. We redesign a reasonable Gaussian-type wave form in the atom–cavity coupling for a realistic experimental operation. Numerical simulation shows that the target state can be quickly populated with a high fidelity which is robust against both the parameter fluctuations and the dissipation.
