Quantum Electronic Circuit Simulation of Generalized sine-Gordon Models
arXiv:1902.09530 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.100.155425
Abstract
Investigation of strongly interacting, nonlinear quantum field theories (QFT-s) remains one of the outstanding challenges of modern physics. Here, we describe analog quantum simulators for nonlinear QFT-s using mesoscopic superconducting circuit lattices. Using the Josephson effect as the source of nonlinear interaction, we investigate generalizations of the quantum sine-Gordon model. In particular, we consider a two-field generalization, the double sine-Gordon model. In contrast to the sine-Gordon model, this model can be purely quantum integrable, when it does not admit a semi-classical description - a property that is generic to many multi-field QFT-s. The primary goal of this work is to investigate different thermodynamic properties of the double sine-Gordon model and propose experiments that can capture its subtle quantum integrability. First, we analytically compute the mass-spectrum and the ground state energy in the presence of an external `magnetic' field using Bethe ansatz and conformal perturbation theory. Second, we calculate the thermodynamic Bethe ansatz equations for the model and analyze its finite temperature properties. Third, we propose experiments to verify the theoretical predictions.
