Analog quantum simulation of chiral magnetic dynamics using optical superlattices
Sabhyata Gupta, Luis Santos
We propose an analog quantum simulation of chiral magnetic dynamics using ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice. The massive Schwinger model in the zero gauge coupling limit m…
Hong-Ou-Mandel interference of more than 10 indistinguishable atoms
Martin Quensen, Mareike Hetzel, Luis Santos +4
When two indistinguishable bosons interfere at a beam splitter, they both exit through the same output port. This foundational quantum-mechanical phenomenon, known as the Hong-Ou-M…
Co-Designed Adaptive Quantum State Preparation Protocols
Mafalda Ramôa, Luis Paulo Santos, Nicholas J. Mayhall +2
We propose a co-designed variant of ADAPT-VQE (Co-ADAPT-VQE) where the quantum hardware is taken into account in the construction of the ansatz. This framework can be readily used…
Polarons and bipolarons in Rydberg-dressed extended Bose-Hubbard model
G. A. DomÃnguez-Castro, L. Santos, L. A. Peña Ardila
Impurities immersed in hard-core Bose gases offer exciting opportunities to explore polaron and bipolaron physics. We investigate the ground state properties of a single and a pair…
Interacting Bose gases in twisted-bilayer optical lattices
Ganesh C. Paul, Patrik Recher, Luis Santos
Recent experiments have realized ultra-cold gases in twisted-bilayer optical lattices. We show that interacting bosons in these lattices present a highly non-trivial ground-state p…
