title: Shortcuts to adiabaticity by counterdiabatic driving.
abstract: The evolution of a system induced by counterdiabatic driving mimics the adiabatic dynamics without the requirement of slow driving. Engineering it involves diagonalizing the instantaneous Hamiltonian of the system and results in the need of auxiliary nonlocal interactions for matter waves. Here, experimentally realizable driving protocols are found for a large class of single-particle, many-body, and nonlinear systems without demanding the spectral properties as an input. The method is applied to the fast decompression of Bose-Einstein condensates in different trapping potentials.
