Hamiltonian transformability, fast adiabatic dynamics and hidden adiabaticity

Abstract We prove the existence of a unitary transformation that enables two arbitrarily given Hamiltonians in the same Hilbert space to be transformed into one another. The result is straightforward yet, for example, it lays the foundation to implementing or mimicking dynamics with the most control...
