Demonstration of Quantum Brachistochrones between Distant States of an Atom
Transforming an initial quantum state into a target state through the fastest possible route—a quantum brachistochrone—is a fundamental challenge for many technologies based on quantum mechanics. In two-level systems, the quantum brachistochrone solutions are long known. These solutions, however, are not applicable to larger systems, especially when the target state …
