Digital Quantum Simulation of Floquet Topological Phases with a Solid-State Quantum Simulator
arXiv:2012.05495
Abstract
Quantum simulator with the ability to harness the dynamics of complex quantum systems has emerged as a promising platform for probing exotic topological phases. Since the flexibility offered by various controllable quantum systems has enabled to gain insight into quantum simulation of such complicated problems, analog quantum simulator has recently shown its feasibility to tackle problems of exploring topological phases. However, digital quantum simulation and detection of topological phases still remain elusive. Here, we develop and experimentally realize the digital quantum simulation of topological phase with a solid-state quantum simulator at room temperature. Distinct from previous works dealing with static topological phases, the topological phases emulated here are Floquet topological phases. Furthermore, we also illustrate the procedure of digitally simulating a quantum quench and observing the nonequilibrium dynamics of Floquet topological phases. By means of quantum quench, the 0- and π-energy topological invariants are unambiguously detected through measuring time-averaged spin polarizations. Our experiment opens up a new avenue to digitally simulate and detect Floquet topological phases with fast-developed programmable quantum simulators.
