Fingerprints of unconventional pairing in superconductor-hole-gas heterostructures

Serafim S. Babkin, Karsten Flensberg, Jeroen Danon +1

Superconductor and two-dimensional hole gas heterostructures are promising platforms for quantum devices, but their intrinsic properties, e.g., unconventional pairings, are hard to…

Periodic orbits and quantum many-body scars in integrable spin chains

Elena Petrova, Maksym Serbyn, Marko Ljubotina

Quantum many-body scars provide an exception to generic thermalising dynamics, but their relation to integrability remains unclear. Here we apply the periodic-orbit framework to th…

Coherent dynamics in chaotic spin chains via interference-protected subspaces

Aron Kerschbaumer, Jean-Yves Desaules, Maksym Serbyn

Generic quantum many-body systems are expected to thermalize, scrambling initial coherence while local observables relax to equilibrium values. Weak ergodicity breaking, often asso…

Systematic construction of quantum many-body scars in frustrated Rydberg arrays

Jean-Yves Desaules, Aron Kerschbaumer, Marko Ljubotina +1

Quantum many-body scars in Rydberg atom arrays have thus far only been observed on bipartite lattices, leaving open the question of whether and how they survive frustration, and wh…

Plasmon decay and non-equilibrium steady states in Josephson junction chains

Lucia Vigliotti, Andrew P. Higginbotham, Maksym Serbyn

Josephson junction (JJ) chains combine the coherence of superconductivity with the controllability of microwave-frequency circuits, making them a powerful platform for circuit quan…

Eigenstate thermalization in thermal first-order phase transitions

Maksym Serbyn, Alexander Avdoshkin, Oriana K. Diessel +1

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) posits how isolated quantum many-body systems thermalize, assuming that individual eigenstates at the same energy density have identi…

Anomalously fast transport in non-integrable lattice gauge theories

Devendra Singh Bhakuni, Roberto Verdel, Jean-Yves Desaules +3

Kinetic constraints are generally expected to slow down dynamics in many-body systems, obstructing or even completely suppressing transport of conserved charges. Here, we show how…

Nonlinear Terahertz Polaritonics in a Quantum Paraelectric

Chao Shen, Carla Verdi, Serafim Babkin +2

Terahertz (THz) frequency range holds immense potential for high-speed data processing and signal manipulation. However, a fundamental challenge remains: the efficient and tunable…

Quasi-solitons in Rydberg atom chains

Aron Kerschbaumer, Jean-Yves Desaules, Marko Ljubotina +1

Solitons - localized wave packets that travel without spreading - play a central role in understanding transport and properties of nonlinear systems. In quantum many-body systems,…

Learning mixed quantum states in large-scale experiments

Matteo Votto, Marko Ljubotina, Cécilia Lancien +5

We present and test a protocol to learn the matrix-product operator (MPO) representation of an experimentally prepared quantum state. The protocol takes as an input classical shado…

Finding periodic orbits in projected quantum many-body dynamics

Elena Petrova, Marko Ljubotina, Gökhan Yalnız +1

Describing general quantum many-body dynamics is a challenging task due to the exponential growth of the Hilbert space with system size. The time-dependent variational principle (T…

Fragmentation, Zero Modes, and Collective Bound States in Constrained Models

Eloi Nicolau, Marko Ljubotina, Maksym Serbyn

Kinetically constrained models were originally introduced to capture slow relaxation in glassy systems, where dynamics are hindered by local constraints instead of energy barriers.…

Nonequilibrium plasmon liquid in a Josephson junction chain

Anton V. Bubis, Lucia Vigliotti, Maksym Serbyn +1

Equilibrium quantum systems are often described by a gas of weakly-interacting normal modes. Bringing such systems far from equilibrium, however, can drastically enhance mode-to-mo…

Probing the many-body localized spin-glass phase through quench dynamics

Pietro Brighi, Marko Ljubotina, Maksym Serbyn

Eigenstates of quantum many-body systems are often used to define phases of matter in and out of equilibrium; however, experimentally accessing highly excited eigenstates is a chal…

Tensor Cross Interpolation of Purities in Quantum Many-Body Systems

Dmytro Kolisnyk, Raimel A. Medina, Romain Vasseur +1

A defining feature of quantum many-body systems is the exponential scaling of the Hilbert space with the number of degrees of freedom. This exponential complexity naïvely renders a…
