Programmable quantum simulation of 2D antiferromagnets with hundreds of Rydberg atoms
Pascal Scholl, Michael Schuler, Hannah J. Williams +9
Quantum simulation using synthetic systems is a promising route to solve outstanding quantum many-body problems in regimes where other approaches, including numerical ones, fail. M…
Enhanced atom-by-atom assembly of arbitrary tweezers arrays
Kai-Niklas Schymik, Vincent Lienhard, Daniel Barredo +4
We report on improvements extending the capabilities of the atom-by-atom assembler described in [Barredo et al., Science 354, 1021 (2016)] that we use to create fully-loaded target…
Realization of a density-dependent Peierls phase in a synthetic, spin-orbit coupled Rydberg system
Vincent Lienhard, Pascal Scholl, Sebastian Weber +8
We experimentally realize a Peierls phase in the hopping amplitude of excitations carried by Rydberg atoms, and observe the resulting characteristic chiral motion in a minimal setu…
Three-dimensional trapping of individual Rydberg atoms in ponderomotive bottle beam traps
Daniel Barredo, Vincent Lienhard, Pascal Scholl +4
We demonstrate three-dimensional trapping of individual Rydberg atoms in holographic optical bottle beam traps. Starting with cold, ground-state Rb atoms held in standard op…
Experimental realization of a symmetry protected topological phase of interacting bosons with Rydberg atoms
Sylvain de Léséleuc, Vincent Lienhard, Pascal Scholl +6
The concept of topological phases is a powerful framework to characterize ground states of quantum many-body systems that goes beyond the paradigm of symmetry breaking. While a few…
Topologically protected edge states in small Rydberg systems
Sebastian Weber, Sylvain de Léséleuc, Vincent Lienhard +4
We propose a simple setup of Rydberg atoms in a honeycomb lattice which gives rise to topologically protected edge states. The proposal is based on the combination of dipolar excha…
