Many-Body Dephasing in a Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator

Harvey B. Kaplan, Lingzhen Guo, Wen Lin Tan +4

How a closed interacting quantum many-body system relaxes and dephases as a function of time is a fundamental question in thermodynamic and statistical physics. In this work, we an…

Observation of Domain Wall Confinement and Dynamics in a Quantum Simulator

W. L. Tan, P. Becker, F. Liu +11

Confinement is a ubiquitous mechanism in nature, whereby particles feel an attractive force that increases without bound as they separate. A prominent example is color confinement…
