论文摘要
已经投入了巨大的研究工作，用于探索和设计与绝热性的所谓捷径。这些是有限的时间过程，这些过程产生与驾驶无限缓慢造成的最终状态。这些技术中的大多数都依赖于辅助领域和量子控制技术，这使得它们的实施成本高昂。从这个角度来看，我们概述了最佳控制的替代范式，在各种情况下，从化学反应上的热发动机到量子动力学 - 热力学控制，已证明有效。我们只关注一些选定的里程碑，我们寻求为这个功能强大且多才多艺的框架提供教学入口点。
Tremendous research efforts have been invested in exploring and designing so-called shortcuts to adiabaticity. These are finite-time processes that produce the same final states that would result from infinitely slow driving. Most of these techniques rely on auxiliary fields and quantum control techniques, which makes them rather costly to implement. In this Perspective we outline an alternative paradigm for optimal control that has proven powerful in a wide variety of situations ranging from heat engines over chemical reactions to quantum dynamics -- thermodynamic control. Focusing on only a few, selected milestones we seek to provide a pedagogical entry point into this powerful and versatile framework.
