Manipulating quantum systems undergoing non-Gaussian dynamics in a fast and accurate manner is becoming fundamental to many quantum applications.

Finally, we design a figure of merit for the performance of the transfer protocols-namely, the protocol grading-that depends only on fundamental physical quantities, and which accounts for the quantum speed limit, the fidelity, and the thermodynamics of the process.

Abstract

Manipulating quantum systems undergoing non-Gaussian dynamics in a fast and accurate manner is becoming fundamental to many quantum applications. Here, we focus on classical and quantum protocols transferring a state across a double-well potential. The classical protocols are achieved by deforming the potential, while the quantum ones are assisted by a counterdiabatic driving. We show that quantum protocols perform more quickly and accurately. Finally, we design a figure of merit for the performance of the transfer protocols-namely, the protocol grading-that depends only on fundamental physical quantities, and which accounts for the quantum speed limit, the fidelity, and the thermodynamics of the process. We test the protocol grading with classical and quantum protocols, and show that quantum protocols have higher protocol grading than the classical ones.
