How to find a shortcut and be on the news! New PRL paper from QTeQ

Great news: QTeQ hits the pages of Phys. Rev. Lett. with a new paper on the design of shortcuts to adiabaticity in quantum many-body systems. Steve as the leading star, Gabriele and Mauro, in collaboration with Massimo Palma (Palermo) and Rosario Fazio (SNS Pisa) have found a new, symmetry-based method to design shortcuts to adiabaticity in a ‘difficult’ many-body system such as the notorious Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. The study, which is an all-TherMiQ collaboration, suggests that the long-range nature of the shortcuts, which is a typical feature when quantum many-body systems brought through a quantum critical point are concerned, is an inherent aspect of such control method, and not a byproduct of the transition.
