Adiabatic evolutions find widespread utility in applications to quantum stateengineering, geometric quantum computation, and quantum simulation. Althoughoffering robustness to experimental imperfections, adiabatic processes aresusceptible to decoherence due to their long evolution time. A general strategytermed "shortcuts to adiabaticity" (STA) aims to remedy this vulnerability bydesigning fast dynamics to reproduce the results of slow, adiabatic evolutions.Here, we implement a novel STA technique known as "superadiabatictransitionless driving" (SATD) to speed up stimulated Raman adiabatic passage(STIRAP) in a solid-state lambda ({\Lambda}) system. Utilizing opticaltransitions to a dissipative excited state in the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centerin diamond, we demonstrate the accelerated performance of different shortcuttrajectories for population transfer and for the initialization and transfer ofcoherent superpositions. We reveal that SATD protocols exhibit robustness todissipation and experimental uncertainty, and can be optimized when theseeffects are present. These results motivate STA as a promising tool forcontrolling open quantum systems comprising individual or hybridnanomechanical, superconducting, and photonic elements in the solid state.
