The preparation of a quantum state via a slow tuning of the parameters of the system lies at the heart of the concept of adiabatic quantum computing. Yet, the realization of such types of computation requires a wide time-window over which dissipation effects may occur, ultimately leading to errors. Here, we propose a protocol that achieves fast adiabatic Landau-Zener dynamics by coupling a spin to an external system. The coupling realizes a quantum non-demolition (QND)Hamiltonian, where the external system acts as a meter. When the meter's decay rate is the largest frequency scale of the dynamics, the QND coupling induces an effective dephasing of the spin in the adiabatic basis and the spin dynamics is described by a quantum adiabatic master equation. We show, however, that adiabaticity can be maximized in the non-adiabatic limit when the coupling with the meter tends to suppress diabatic transitions via effective cooling processes. We investigate the protocol efficiency in terms of non-Markovianity measures for the spin-meter dynamics and qualitatively discuss the spectral gap of the incoherent dynamics. We finally show that the protocol is robust against imperfection in the implementation of the QND Hamiltonian.
