Observation of anisotropy-independent magnetization dynamics in spatially disordered Heisenberg spin systems
Titus Franz, Sebastian Geier, Clément Hainaut +7
An important step towards a comprehensive understanding of far-from-equilibrium dynamics of quantum many-body systems is the identification of unifying features that are independen…
Emergent pair localization in a many-body quantum spin system
Titus Franz, Sebastian Geier, Adrian Braemer +8
Understanding how closed quantum systems dynamically approach thermal equilibrium presents a major unresolved problem in statistical physics. Generically, non-integrable quantum sy…
Localization properties of the asymptotic density distribution of a one-dimensional disordered system
Clément Hainaut, Jean-François Clément, Pascal Szriftgiser +3
Anderson localization is the ubiquitous phenomenon of inhibition of transport of classical and quantum waves in a disordered medium. In dimension one, it is well known that all sta…
Optically defined cavities in driven-dissipative photonic lattices
O. Jamadi, B. Real, K. Sawicki +11
The engineering of localised modes in photonic structures is one of the main targets of modern photonics. An efficient strategy to design these modes is to use the interplay of con…
A stationary Rydberg polariton
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Andre Salzinger +4
We propose a novel scheme for coupling a Rydberg state to a stationary light polariton, based on a dual-V level scheme. We investigate the properties of the resulting stationary Ry…
Microwave-engineering of programmable XXZ Hamiltonians in arrays of Rydberg atoms
P. Scholl, H. J. Williams, G. Bornet +13
We use the resonant dipole-dipole interaction between Rydberg atoms and a periodic external microwave field to engineer XXZ spin Hamiltonians with tunable anisotropies. The atoms a…
Floquet Hamiltonian Engineering of an Isolated Many-Body Spin System
Sebastian Geier, Nithiwadee Thaicharoen, Clément Hainaut +6
Controlling interactions is the key element for quantum engineering of many-body systems. Using time-periodic driving, a naturally given many-body Hamiltonian of a closed quantum s…
Glassy quantum dynamics of disordered Ising spins
Philipp Schultzen, Titus Franz, Sebastian Geier +6
We study the out-of-equilibrium dynamics in the quantum Ising model with power-law interactions and positional disorder. For arbitrary dimension and interaction range …
Nonlinear absorption in interacting Rydberg electromagnetically-induced-transparency spectra on two-photon resonance
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Andre Salzinger +6
We experimentally investigate the nonlinear transmission spectrum of coherent light fields propagating through a Rydberg EIT medium with strong atomic interactions. In contrast to…
Blockade-induced resonant enhancement of the optical nonlinearity in a Rydberg medium
Annika Tebben, Clément Hainaut, Valentin Walther +4
We predict a resonant enhancement of the nonlinear optical response of an interacting Rydberg gas under conditions of electromagnetically induced transparency. The enhancement orig…
Experimental realization of an ideal Floquet disordered system
Clément Hainaut, Adam Rançon, Jean-François Clément +5
The atomic Quantum Kicked Rotor is an outstanding "quantum simulator" for the exploration of transport in disordered quantum systems. Here we study experimentally the phase-shifted…
Experimental observation of time singularity in classical-to-quantum chaos transition
Clément Hainaut, Ping Fang, Adam Rançon +5
The emergence of chaotic phenomena in a quantum system has long been an elusive subject. Experimental progresses in this subject have become urgently needed in recent years, when c…
Ratchet Effect in the Quantum Kicked Rotor and its Destruction by Dynamical Localization
Clément Hainaut, Adam Rançon, Jean-François Clément +4
We study experimentally a quantum kicked rotor with broken parity symmetry, supporting a ratchet effect due to the presence of a classical accelerator mode. We show that the short-…
Controlling symmetry and localization with an artificial gauge field in a disordered quantum system
Clément Hainaut, Isam Manai, Jean-François Clément +6
Anderson localization, the absence of diffusion in disordered media, draws its origins from the destructive interference between multiple scattering paths. The localization propert…
Return to the Origin as a Probe of Atomic Phase Coherence
Clément Hainaut, Isam Manai, Radu Chicireanu +7
We report on the observation of the coherent enhancement of the return probability ("enhanced return to the origin" , ERO) in a periodically kicked cold-atom gas. By submitting an…
Experimental Observation of Two-Dimensional Anderson Localization with the Atomic Kicked Rotor
Isam Manai, Jean-François Clément, Radu Chicireanu +4
Dimension 2 is expected to be the lower critical dimension for Anderson localization in a time reversal-invariant disordered quantum system. Using an atomic quasiperiodic kicked ro…
