(Non-)Traversable Quantum Phase Transitions
Federico Balducci, Paul M. Schindler, Andrea Solfanelli +1
Quantum phase transitions manifest as an abrupt change in the ground state of a many-body system; yet it is an open question whether this sudden change necessarily precludes a cont…
Fast thermal state preparation beyond native interactions
Alexander van Lomwel, Paul M. Schindler, Modesto Orozco-Ruiz +3
While questions on quantum simulation of ground state physics are mostly focussed on the realization of effective interactions, most work on quantum simulation of thermal physics e…
Geometric Floquet theory
Paul M. Schindler, Marin Bukov
We derive Floquet theory from quantum geometry. We identify quasienergy folding as a consequence of a broken gauge group of the adiabatic gauge potential .…
Sensing with discrete time crystals
Leo Joon Il Moon, Paul M. Schindler, Ryan J. Smith +4
Prethermal discrete time crystals (PDTCs) are a nonequilibrium state of matter characterized by long-range spatiotemporal order, and exhibiting a subharmonic response stabilized by…
Experimental observation of a time rondeau crystal: Temporal Disorder in Spatiotemporal Order
Leo Joon Il Moon, Paul Manuel Schindler, Yizhe Sun +6
Our understanding of phases of matter relies on symmetry breaking, one example being water ice whose crystalline structure breaks the continuous translation symmetry of space. Rece…
Nanoscale engineering and dynamical stabilization of mesoscopic spin textures
Kieren Harkins, Christoph Fleckenstein, Noella D'Souza +16
Thermalization phenomena, while ubiquitous in quantum systems, have traditionally been viewed as obstacles to be mitigated. In this study, we demonstrate the ability, instead, to h…
