Approximate constructions of counterdiabatic driving with NMR quantum systems

Abstract Counterdiabatic driving (CD) offers a fast and robust route to manipulate quantum systems, which has widespread applications in quantum technologies. However, for higher-dimensional complex systems, the exact CD term involving the spectral properties of the system is difficult to calculate and generally takes a complicated form, impeding its experimental realization. Recently, many approximate methods have been proposed for designing CD passages in many-body systems. In this topical review, we focus on the CD formalism and briefly introduce several experimental constructions and applications of approximate CD driving in spin-chain models with nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) systems.
