U(1) lattice gauge theory and string roughening on a triangular Rydberg array
Lisa Bombieri, Torsten V. Zache, Hannes Pichler +1
Lattice gauge theories (LGTs) describe fundamental interactions in particle physics. A central phenomenon in these theories is confinement, which binds quarks and antiquarks into h…
Deconfined quantum criticality on a triangular Rydberg array
Lisa Bombieri, Torsten V. Zache, Gabriele Calliari +3
Fluctuations can drive continuous phase transitions between two distinct ordered phases -- so-called deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs) -- which lie beyond the Landau-Ginzb…
Quantum adiabatic optimization with Rydberg arrays: localization phenomena and encoding strategies
Lisa Bombieri, Zhongda Zeng, Roberto Tricarico +5
Quantum adiabatic optimization seeks to solve combinatorial problems using quantum dynamics, requiring the Hamiltonian of the system to align with the problem of interest. However,…
Driven-dissipative phase separation in free-space atomic ensembles
Daniel Goncalves, Lisa Bombieri, Giovanni Ferioli +5
The driven Dicke model, wherein an ensemble of atoms is driven by an external field and undergoes collective spontaneous emission due to coupling to a leaky cavity mode, is a parad…
