Abstract: Charge, spin and quantum states transfer in solid state devices is an important issue in quantum information. Adiabatic protocols, such as coherent transfer by adiabatic passage have been proposed for direct charge transfer, also denoted as long-range transfer, between the outer dots in a QD array without occupying the intermediate ones. However adiabatic protocols are prone to decoherence. With the aim of achieving direct charge transfer between the outer dots of a QD array with high fidelity, we propose a protocol to speed up the adiabatic transfer, in order to increase the fidelity of the process. Based on adiabaticity shortcuts, by properly engineering the pulses, fast adiabatic-like direct charge transfer between the outer dots can be obtained. We also discuss the impact of transfer fidelity on the operation time in the presence of dephasing. The proposed protocols for accelerating long-range charge and state transfer in a QD array offer a robust mechanism for quantum information transfer, by minimizing the decoherence and relaxation processes.
