Spectroscopic Characterization of the Quantum Linear-Zigzag Transition in Trapped Ions
J. Zhang, B. T. Chow, S. Ejtemaee +1
While engineered quantum systems are a general route to the manipulation of multipartite quantum states, access in a physical system to a continuous quantum phase transition under…
Cryogenic Trapped-Ion System for Large Scale Quantum Simulation
G. Pagano, P. W. Hess, H. B. Kaplan +9
We present a cryogenic ion trapping system designed for large scale quantum simulation of spin models. Our apparatus is based on a segmented-blade ion trap enclosed in a 4 K cryost…
Observation of a Many-Body Dynamical Phase Transition with a 53-Qubit Quantum Simulator
J. Zhang, G. Pagano, P. W. Hess +6
A quantum simulator is a restricted class of quantum computer that controls the interactions between quantum bits in a way that can be mapped to certain difficult quantum many-body…
Non-thermalization in trapped atomic ion spin chains
P. W. Hess, P. Becker, H. B. Kaplan +10
Linear arrays of trapped and laser cooled atomic ions are a versatile platform for studying emergent phenomena in strongly-interacting many-body systems. Effective spins are encode…
Observation of a Discrete Time Crystal
J. Zhang, P. W. Hess, A. Kyprianidis +9
Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a fundamental concept in many areas of physics, ranging from cosmology and particle physics to condensed matter. A prime example is the breaking of…
