Phonon dressing of a facilitated one-dimensional Rydberg lattice gas

Matteo Magoni, Paolo P. Mazza, Igor Lesanovsky

We study the dynamics of a one-dimensional Rydberg lattice gas under facilitation (anti-blockade) conditions which implements a so-called kinetically constrained spin system. Here…

Machine learning time-local generators of open quantum dynamics

Paolo P. Mazza, Dominik Zietlow, Federico Carollo +3

In the study of closed many-body quantum systems one is often interested in the evolution of a subset of degrees of freedom. On many occasions it is possible to approach the proble…

Emergent Bloch oscillations in a kinetically constrained Rydberg spin lattice

Matteo Magoni, Paolo P. Mazza, Igor Lesanovsky

We explore the relaxation dynamics of elementary spin clusters of a kinetically constrained spin system. Inspired by experiments with Rydberg lattice gases, we focus on the situati…

Vibrational dressing in Kinetically Constrained Rydberg Spin Systems

Paolo P. Mazza, Richard Schmidt, Igor Lesanovsky

Quantum spin systems with kinetic constraints have become paradigmatic for exploring collective dynamical behaviour in many-body systems. Here we discuss a facilitated spin system…

Quasilocalized dynamics from confinement of quantum excitations

Alessio Lerose, Federica Maria Surace, Paolo Pietro Mazza +3

Confinement of excitations induces quasilocalized dynamics in disorder-free isolated quantum many-body systems in one spatial dimension. This occurrence is signalled by severe supp…

Lattice gauge theories and string dynamics in Rydberg atom quantum simulators

Federica M. Surace, Paolo P. Mazza, Giuliano Giudici +3

Gauge theories are the cornerstone of our understanding of fundamental interactions among particles. Their properties are often probed in dynamical experiments, such as those perfo…

Suppression of transport in non-disordered quantum spin chains due to confined excitations

Paolo Pietro Mazza, Gabriele Perfetto, Alessio Lerose +2

The laws of thermodynamics require any initial macroscopic inhomogeneity in extended many-body systems to be smoothed out by the time evolution through the activation of transport…

Overlap distributions for quantum quenches in the anisotropic Heisenberg chain

Paolo P. Mazza, Jean-Marie Stéphan, Elena Canovi +3

The dynamics after a quantum quench is determined by the weights of the initial state in the eigenspectrum of the final Hamiltonian, i.e., by the distribution of overlaps in the en…

Interaction quench in a trapped one-dimensional Bose gas

Paolo P. Mazza, Mario Collura, Márton Kormos +1

We study the non-equilibrium quench dynamics from free to hard-core one-dimensional bosons in the presence of a hard-wall confining potential. We characterise the density profile a…
