U-Shaped and Surface Functionalized Polymer Optical Fiber Probe for Glucose Detection
(MDPI, 2017-01)
In this work we show an optical fiber evanescent wave absorption probe for glucose detection in different physiological media. High selectivity is achieved by functionalizing the surface of an only-core poly(methyl ...
Shortcuts to adiabatic rotation of a two-ion chain
(IOP, 2021-10)
We inverse engineer fast rotations of a transversally tight, linear trap with two ions for a predetermined rotation angle and time, avoiding final excitation. Different approaches are analyzed and compared when the ions ...
Invariant-Based Inverse Engineering for Fast and Robust Load Transport in a Double Pendulum Bridge Crane
(MDPI, 2020-03-18)
We set a shortcut-to-adiabaticity strategy to design the trolley motion in a double-pendulum bridge crane. The trajectories found guarantee payload transport without residual excitation regardless of the initial conditions ...
Fast Driving of a Particle in Two Dimensions without Final Excitation
(MDPI, 2022-11-19)
Controlling the motional state of a particle in a multidimensional space is key for fundamental science and quantum technologies. Applying a recently found two-dimensional invariant combined with linear invariants, we ...
Inverse engineering of fast state transfer among coupled oscillators
(2022-06-07)
We design faster-than-adiabatic state transfers (switching of quantum numbers) in time-dependent coupled-oscillator Hamiltonians. The manipulation to drive the process is found using a two-dimensional invariant recently ...
Invariant-based inverse engineering of time-dependent, coupled harmonic oscillators
(American Physical Society, 2020-12-14)
Two-dimensional (2D) systems with time-dependent controls admit a quadratic Hamiltonian modeling near potential minima. Independent, dynamical normal modes facilitate inverse Hamiltonian engineering to control the system ...
Interferometer for force measurement via a shortcut to adiabatic arm guiding
(American Physical Society, 2020-06-12)
We propose a compact atom interferometer to measure homogeneous constant forces guiding the arms via shortcuts to adiabatic paths. For a given sensitivity, which only depends on the space-time area of the guiding paths, ...
Fast state and trap rotation of a particle in an anisotropic potential
(IOP Publishing, 2019-10-21)
We study the dynamics of a quantum or classical particle in a two-dimensional rotating anisotropic harmonic potential. By a sequence of symplectic transformations for constant rotation velocity we find uncoupled normal ...
Vanishing efficiency of speeded-up quantum Otto engines
(IOP, 2019-08-28)
We assess the energy cost of shortcuts to adiabatic expansions or compressions of a harmonic oscillator, the power strokes of a quantum Otto engine. Difficulties to identify the cost stem from the interplay between different ...
