Translation symmetry restoration in integrable systems: the noninteracting case

Molly Gibbins, Adam Gammon-Smith, Bruno Bertini

The study of symmetry restoration has recently emerged as a fruitful means to extract high-level information on the relaxation of quantum many-body systems. However, while the rest…

Quantum trajectory simulation of two-dimensional non-equilibrium steady states with a trapped ion quantum processor

Anna Dalmasso, Arash Jafarizadeh, Julian Boesl +8

Digital quantum computers offer a promising route for studying complex many-body systems that are otherwise inaccessible by their classical counterparts. Capabilities including mid…

Disentangling strategies and entanglement transitions in unitary circuit games with matchgates

Raúl Morral-Yepes, Marc Langer, Adam Gammon-Smith +2

In unitary circuit games, two competing parties, an "entangler" and a "disentangler", can induce an entanglement phase transition in a quantum many-body system. The transition occu…

Quench dynamics in lattices above one dimension: the free fermionic case

Molly Gibbins, Arash Jafarizadeh, Adam Gammon-Smith +1

We begin a systematic investigation of quench dynamics in higher-dimensional lattice systems considering the case of non-interacting fermions with conserved particle number. We pre…

Phases of Interacting Fibonacci Anyons on a Ladder at Half-Filling

Nico Kirchner, Roderich Moessner, Frank Pollmann +1

Two-dimensional many-body quantum systems can exhibit topological order and support collective excitations with anyonic statistics different from the usual fermionic or bosonic one…

Topological Superconductivity in Altermagnetic Heterostructures on a Honeycomb Lattice

George McArdle, Brian Kiraly, Peter Wadley +1

Altermagnet-superconductor heterostructures have been shown, in principle, to provide a route towards realising topological superconductivity, and therefore host topologically prot…

Matchgate circuit representation of fermionic Gaussian states: optimal preparation, approximation, and classical simulation

Marc Langer, Raúl Morral-Yepes, Adam Gammon-Smith +2

Fermionic Gaussian states (FGSs) and the associated matchgate circuits play a central role in quantum information theory and condensed matter physics. Despite being possibly highly…
