Breakdown of ergodicity in disordered U(1) lattice gauge theories
Giuliano Giudici, Federica Maria Surace, Joel Etaya Ebot +2
We show how U(1) lattice gauge theories display key signatures of ergodicity breaking in the presence of a random charge background. Contrary to the widely studied case of spin mod…
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…
Homogeneous Floquet time crystal protected by gauge invariance
Angelo Russomanno, Simone Notarnicola, Federica Maria Surace +3
We show that homogeneous lattice gauge theories can realize nonequilibrium quantum phases with long-range spatiotemporal order protected by gauge invariance instead of disorder. We…
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…
