Here, we show how to extend classical, Hamiltonian shortcuts to adiabaticity to allow the crossing of a phase-space separatrix -- a situation in which a corresponding adiabatic protocol does not exist. Specifically, we show how to construct a time-dependent Hamiltonian that evolves one energy shell to another energy shell across a separatrix. Leveraging this method, we design an erasure procedure whose energy cost and fidelity do not depend on the protocol's duration.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-08-13T14:08:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "adiabaticity", "energy shell", "conserving adiabatic invariants", "erasure procedure", "protocols duration" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
