Finding the phase diagram of strongly-correlated disordered bosons using quantum quenches
L. Villa, S. J. Thomson, L. Sanchez-Palencia
The question of how the low-energy properties of disordered quantum systems may be connected to exotic localization phenomena at high energy is a key open question in the context o…
Quench Spectroscopy of a Disordered Quantum System
L. Villa, S. J. Thomson, L. Sanchez-Palencia
The characterization of excitations in disordered quantum systems is a central issue in connection with glass physics and many-body localization. Here, we show that quench spectros…
Local quench spectroscopy of many-body quantum systems
L. Villa, J. Despres, S. J. Thomson +1
Quench spectroscopy is a relatively new method which enables the investigation of spectral properties of many-body quantum systems by monitoring the out-of-equilibrium dynamics of…
Unraveling the Excitation Spectrum of Many-Body Systems from Quantum Quenches
Louis Villa, Julien Despres, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia
Quenches are now routinely used in synthetic quantum systems to study a variety of fundamental effects, including ergodicity breaking, light-cone-like spreading of information, and…
Twofold correlation spreading in a strongly correlated lattice Bose gas
J. Despres, L. Villa, L. Sanchez-Palencia
We study the spreading of correlations in the Bose-Hubbard chain, using the time-dependent matrix-product state approach. In both the superfluid and the Mott-insulator phases, we f…
A mesoscale study of creep in a microgel using the acoustic radiation force
Pierre Lidon, Louis Villa, Sébastien Manneville
We study the motion of a sphere of diameter 330 m embedded in a Carbopol microgel under the effect of the acoustic radiation pressure exerted by a focused ultrasonic field. The…
Cavity assisted measurements of heat and work in optical lattices
Louis Villa, Gabriele De Chiara
We propose a method to experimentally measure the internal energy of a system of ultracold atoms trapped in optical lattices by coupling them to the fields of two optical cavities.…
Measurement of the acoustic radiation force on a sphere embedded in a soft solid
Pierre Lidon, Louis Villa, Nicolas Taberlet +1
The acoustic radiation force exerted on a small sphere located at the focus of an ultrasonic beam is measured in a soft gel. It is proved to evolve quadratically with the local amp…
Power-law creep and residual stresses in a carbopol microgel
Pierre Lidon, Louis Villa, Sebastien Manneville
We report on the interplay between creep and residual stresses in a carbopol microgel. When a constant shear stress is applied below the yield stress , the strain i…
