Abstract
We show how the classical action, an adiabatic invariant, can be preserved under nonadiabatic conditions. Specifically, for a time-dependent Hamiltonian H=p^{2}/2m+U(q,t) in one degree of freedom, and for an arbitrary choice of action I_{0}, we construct a so-called fast-forward potential energy function V_{FF}(q,t) that, when added to H, guides all trajectories with initial action I_{0} to end with the same value of action. We use this result to construct a local dynamical invariant J(q,p,t) whose value remains constant along these trajectories. We illustrate our results with numerical simulations. Finally, we sketch how our classical results may be used to design approximate quantum shortcuts to adiabaticity.Year: 2017 PMID: 28415339 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevE.95.032122
