abstract = {Transforming an initial quantum state into a target state
through the fastest possible route—a quantum
brachistochrone—is a fundamental challenge for many
technologies based on quantum mechanics. In two-level
systems, the quantum brachistochrone solutions are long
known. These solutions, however, are not applicable to
larger systems, especially when the target state cannot be
reached through a local transformation. Here, we demonstrate
fast coherent transport of an atomic wave packet over a
distance of 15 times its size—a paradigmatic case of
quantum processes going beyond the two-level system. Our
measurements of the transport fidelity reveal the existence
of a minimum duration—a quantum speed limit—for the
coherent splitting and recombination of matter waves. We
obtain physical insight into this limit by relying on a
geometric interpretation of quantum state dynamics. These
results shed light on a fundamental limit of quantum state
dynamics and are expected to find relevant applications in
quantum sensing and quantum computing.},
