The adiabatic theorem seems to be a no-go theorem for excitation-free ultrafast processes in quantum dynamics of relevance to a great variety of fields and technologies including quantum sensing and metrology, finite-time thermodynamics, quantum simulation, and quantum computation. However, it is possible to design non-adiabatic processes that reproduce in a finite-time the same final state resulting from an adiabatic protocol. Examples of architectures where these ideas can be applied include neutral atoms and Bose-Einstein condensates, spin systems, quantum dots, and trapped ions, among others. The growing body of theoretical and experimental research in this area, spanning a range of topics including quantum control, classical dynamics, and small-system thermodynamics, is consolidating shortcuts to adiabaticity as an emergent field. This workshop is aimed at bringing together experts in non-equilibrium dynamics across different communities, encompassing Atomic, Molecular and Optical Sciences, Quantum information and Quantum Technologies, and Statistical mechanics.
