Control of dynamical phase transitions and non-ergodic relaxation via spinor phases
J. O. Austin-Harris, P. Sigdel, C. Binegar +3
Utilizing ultracold spinor gases as large-scale, many-body quantum simulation platforms, we establish a toolbox for the precise control, characterization, and detection of nonequil…
Detection of Spin-Spatial-Coupling-Induced Dynamical Phase Transitions in Real Time
J. O. Austin-Harris, Z. N. Hardesty-Shaw, C. Binegar +3
We demonstrate the real-time detection of dynamical phase transitions (DPTs) in lattice-confined spinor gases subject to a priori unknown time-variant interactions, via the tempora…
Lattice-enabled detection of spin-dependent three-body interactions
C. Binegar, J. O. Austin-Harris, S. E. Begg +3
We present the experimental detection of coherent three-body interactions, often masked by stronger two-body effects, through nonequilibrium spin dynamics induced by controllably q…
Polarization-dependent chiral transport and chiral solitons in spin Kitaev models
Chenwei Lv, Thomas Bilitewski, Ana Maria Rey +1
Recent advances in synthetic quantum matter allow researchers to design quantum models inaccessible in traditional materials. Here, we propose protocols to engineer a new class of…
Observation of ergodicity breaking and quantum many-body scars in spinor gases
J. O. Austin-Harris, I. Rana, S. E. Begg +3
We experimentally and theoretically demonstrate spinor gases driven by spin-flopping fields are excellent platforms for investigating ergodicity breaking and quantum scarring. We o…
Emergent interaction-induced topology in Bose-Hubbard ladders
David Wellnitz, Gustavo A. DomÃnguez-Castro, Thomas Bilitewski +3
We investigate the quantum many-body dynamics of bosonic atoms hopping in a two-leg ladder with strong on-site contact interactions. We observe that when the atoms are prepared in…
