Dynamics of string breaking and revival in a Rydberg atomic chain
Xin Liu, Han-Chao Chen, Zheng-Yuan Zhang +8
String breaking is one of the most representative non-perturbative dynamics processes in confinement theory, typically associated with the creation of particle-antiparticle pairs.…
Observation of non-Hermitian topology in cold Rydberg quantum gases
Jun Zhang, Ya-Jun Wang, Shi-Yao Shao +16
The pursuit of topological phenomena in non-Hermitian systems has unveiled new physics beyond the conventional Hermitian paradigm, yet their realization in interacting many-body pl…
Quantum Zeno Effect in the Spatial Evolution of a Single Atom
Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Han-Chao Chen, Xin Liu +15
The quantum Zeno effect (QZE) reveals that frequent measurements can suppress quantum evolution, but the detailed dynamics of the system under finite-duration measurements in exper…
Observation of Discrete Time Quasicrystal in Rydberg Atomic Gases
Dong-Yang Zhu, Zheng-Yuan Zhang, Qi-Feng Wang +17
Discrete time quasicrystals (DTQC) constitute a class of non-equilibrium matter characterized by temporal order without strict periodicity, in contrast to conventional time crystal…
Diatomic and Polyatomic Heteronuclear Ultralong-Range Rydberg Molecules
Qing Li, Shi-Yao Shao, Li-Hua Zhang +9
Ultra-long-range Rydberg molecules (ULRMs) have attracted significant interest due to their unique electronic properties and potential applications in quantum technologies. We theo…
A Rb-Cs dual-species magneto-optical trap
Shi-Yao Shao, Qing Li, Li-Hua Zhang +13
We describe a three-dimensional (3D) magneto-optical trap (MOT) capable of simultaneously capturing 85Rb and 133Cs atoms. Unlike conventional setups, our system utilizes two separa…
