Quantum simulation using Trotterized disorder Hamiltonians in a single-mode optical cavity
Rahel Lea Baumgartner, Pietro Pelliconi, Soumik Bandyopadhyay +4
All-to-all interacting and disordered many-body systems are notoriously hard to simulate on quantum platforms, as interactions are commonly mediated by auxiliary degrees of freedom…
Driven Non-Unitary Dynamics of Quantum Critical Systems
Bastien Lapierre, Pietro Pelliconi, Shinsei Ryu +1
We investigate the interplay between unitary and non-unitary driven many-body dynamics in (1+1)-dimensional quantum critical systems described by conformal field theory (CFT). By f…
Quantum simulation of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model using time-dependent disorder in optical cavities
Rahel Baumgartner, Pietro Pelliconi, Soumik Bandyopadhyay +5
The Sachdev--Ye--Kitaev (SYK) model is a paradigm for extreme quantum chaos, non-Fermi-liquid behavior, and holographic matter. Yet, the dense random all-to-all interactions that c…
Gravity as a mesoscopic system
Pietro Pelliconi, Julian Sonner, Herman Verlinde
We employ a probabilistic mesoscopic description to draw conceptual and quantitative analogies between Brownian motion and late-time fluctuations of thermal correlation functions i…
