Observing weakly broken conservation laws in a dipolar Rydberg quantum spin chain
Cheng Chen, Luca Capizzi, Alice Marché +6
Integrable quantum many-body systems host families of extensive conservation laws, some of which are fragile: even infinitesimal perturbations can qualitatively alter their dynamic…
Probing spin-motion coupling of two Rydberg atoms by a Stern-Gerlach-like experiment
Gabriel Emperauger, Mu Qiao, Guillaume Bornet +7
We propose and implement a protocol to measure the state-dependent motion of Rydberg atoms induced by dipole-dipole interactions. Our setup enables simultaneous readout of both the…
Benchmarking direct and indirect dipolar spin-exchange interactions between two Rydberg atoms
Gabriel Emperauger, Mu Qiao, Guillaume Bornet +8
We report on the experimental characterization of various types of spin-exchange interactions between two individual atoms, where pseudo-spin degrees of freedom are encoded in diff…
Tomonaga-Luttinger Liquid Behavior in a Rydberg-encoded Spin Chain
Gabriel Emperauger, Mu Qiao, Cheng Chen +14
Quantum fluctuations can disrupt long-range order in one-dimensional systems, and replace it with the universal paradigm of the Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid (TLL), a critical phase of…
Realization of a doped quantum antiferromagnet with dipolar tunnelings in a Rydberg tweezer array
Mu Qiao, Gabriel Emperauger, Cheng Chen +13
Doping an antiferromagnetic Mott insulator is central to our understanding of a variety of phenomena in strongly-correlated electrons, including high-temperature superconductors. T…
