In　this　paper,　we　investigate　the　quantum　transfer　for　the　system　with　three-level　Lambda-type　structure,　and　construct　a　shortcut　to　the　adiabatic　passage　via　picture　transformation　to　speed　up　the　evolution.　We　can　design　the　pulses　directly　without　any　additional　couplings.　Moreover,　by　choosing　suitable　control　parameters,　the　Rabi　frequencies　of　pulses　can　be　expressed　by　the　linear　superpositions　of　Gaussian　functions,　which　could　be　easily　realized　in　experiments.　Compared　with　the　previous　works　using　the　stimulated　Raman　adiabatic　passage,　the　quantum　transfer　can　be　significantly　accelerated　with　the　present　scheme.　(C)　2017　Elsevier　Inc.　All　rights　reserved.
