Fast and stable manipulation of a charged particle in a Penning trap

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We propose shortcuts to adiabaticity to achieve fast and stable control of the state of a charged particle in an electromagnetic field. In particular we design a non-adiabatic change of the magnetic field strength in a Penning trap which changes the radial spread without final excitations. We apply a streamlined version of the fast-forward formalism as well as an invariant based inverse engineering approach. We compare both methods and examine their stability.
