Implementation of atomic fast population transfer in separate cavities via shortcut to adiabatic passage

Based on the invariant-based inverse engineering and quantum Zeno dynamics, we design time-dependent resonant laser pulses to speed up the population transfer in two spatially separated Λ-type atoms. Through designing a virtual dark state for the evolution of the system, we can rapidly achieve a perfect population transfer in an ordinary cavity quantum electrodynamics system. We also discuss the influence of decoherence by numerical computation, and the result proves that this method is insensitive to the cavity decay and atomic spontaneous dissipation. In addition, this method is robust against the amplitude fluctuations of most of the parameters. (author)
