Emergent SU(2) dynamics and perfect quantum many-body scars

Soonwon Choi, Christopher J. Turner, Hannes Pichler +6

Motivated by recent experimental observations of coherent many-body revivals in a constrained Rydberg atom chain, we construct a weak quasi-local deformation of the Rydberg blockad…

Quantum Virtual Cooling

Jordan Cotler, Soonwon Choi, Alexander Lukin +10

We propose a quantum information based scheme to reduce the temperature of quantum many-body systems, and access regimes beyond the current capability of conventional cooling techn…

Fundamental limitations on photoisomerization from thermodynamic resource theories

Nicole Yunger Halpern, David T. Limmer

Small, out-of-equilibrium, and quantum systems defy simple thermodynamic expressions. Such systems are exemplified by molecular switches, which exchange heat with a bath. These mol…

Computational complexity of the Rydberg blockade in two dimensions

Hannes Pichler, Sheng-Tao Wang, Leo Zhou +2

We discuss the computational complexity of finding the ground state of the two-dimensional array of quantum bits that interact via strong van der Waals interactions. Specifically,…

Exploring universal and non-universal regimes of trimers from three-body interactions in one-dimensional lattices

Arthur Christianen, John Sous

We investigate the formation of trimers in an infinite one-dimensional lattice model of hard-core particles with single-particle hopping and and nearest-neighbour two-body …

Shattered Time: Can a Dissipative Time Crystal Survive Many-Body Correlations?

Kristopher Tucker, Bihui Zhu, Robert J. Lewis-Swan +4

We investigate the emergence of a time crystal in a driven-dissipative many-body spin array. In this system the interplay between incoherent spin pumping and collective emission st…

Simultaneous Broadband Vector Magnetometry Using Solid-State Spins

Jennifer M. Schloss, John F. Barry, Matthew J. Turner +1

We demonstrate a vector magnetometer that simultaneously measures all Cartesian components of a dynamic magnetic field using an ensemble of nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers in a singl…

Effective spin-spin interactions in bilayers of Rydberg atoms and polar molecules

Elena Kuznetsova, Seth T. Rittenhouse, I. I. Beterov +3

We show that indirect spin-spin interactions between effective spin-1/2 systems can be realized in two parallel 1D optical lattices loaded with polar molecules and/or Rydberg atoms…
