Probing the topological phase transition in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model using Rydberg-atom synthetic dimensions

Yi Lu, Chuanyu Wang, Soumya K. Kanungo +2

We simulate the the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model using Rydberg-atom synthetic dimensions constructed, in a single atom, from a ladder of six neighboring $n{}^3{S}_1$ Rydberg stat…
