Adiabatic evolution along the instantaneous eigenstate of a time-dependent Hamiltonian is used for robust and high fidelity state transfer in atomic and molecular physics. Shortcuts to adiabaticity (STA) are systematic approaches to accomplish the same final state transfer in a faster manner. This article presents an introduction to STA and reviews different theoretical approaches and applications of STA to a range of scientific and engineering tasks in quantum physics and beyond.
