The Ising dual-reflection interface: symmetry and Majorana strong zero modes
Juliane Graf, Federica Maria Surace, Marcus Berg +1
We investigate an interface in the transverse field quantum Ising chain connecting an ordered ferromagnetic phase and a disordered paramagnetic phase that are Kramers-Wannier duals…
Probing false vacuum decay on a cold-atom gauge-theory quantum simulator
Zi-Hang Zhu, Ying Liu, Gianluca Lagnese +9
In the context of quantum electrodynamics, the decay of false vacuum leads to the production of electron-positron pair, a phenomenon known as the Schwinger effect. In practical exp…
String-Breaking Dynamics in Quantum Adiabatic and Diabatic Processes
Federica Maria Surace, Alessio Lerose, Or Katz +10
Confinement prohibits isolation of color charges, e.g., quarks, in nature via a process called string breaking: the separation of two charges results in an increase in the energy o…
Observation of string-breaking dynamics in a quantum simulator
Arinjoy De, Alessio Lerose, De Luo +10
Spontaneous particle-pair formation is a fundamental phenomenon in nature. It can, for example, appear when the potential energy between two particles increases with separation, as…
Finite-size generators for weak integrability breaking perturbations in the Heisenberg chain
Sara Vanovac, Federica Maria Surace, Olexei Motrunich
An integrable model perturbed by special ''weak integrability-breaking'' perturbations thermalizes at timescales much longer than predicted by Fermi's golden rule. Recently, a syst…
Simulating Meson Scattering on Spin Quantum Simulators
Elizabeth R. Bennewitz, Brayden Ware, Alexander Schuckert +11
Studying high-energy collisions of composite particles, such as hadrons and nuclei, is an outstanding goal for quantum simulators. However, preparation of hadronic wave packets has…
