Ground states of quantum XY dipoles on the Archimedean lattices

Marcus Bintz, Ahmed Khalifa, Vincent S. Liu +4

We report numerical ground states for the dipolar XY spin model, which describes extended antiferromagnetic interactions in two-dimensional arrays of polar molecules and two-level…

Dirac Spin Liquid Candidate in a Rydberg Quantum Simulator

Guillaume Bornet, Marcus Bintz, Cheng Chen +10

We experimentally investigate a frustrated spin-exchange antiferromagnet in a quantum simulator, composed of N = 114 dipolar Rydberg atoms arranged into a kagome array. Motivated b…

Tensor Network Python (TeNPy) version 1

Johannes Hauschild, Jakob Unfried, Sajant Anand +27

TeNPy (short for 'Tensor Network Python') is a python library for the simulation of strongly correlated quantum systems with tensor networks. The philosophy of this library is to a…

Supersolidity and Simplex Phases in Spin-1 Rydberg Atom Arrays

Vincent S. Liu, Marcus Bintz, Maxwell Block +3

Neutral atoms become strongly interacting when their electrons are excited to loosely bound Rydberg states. We investigate the strongly correlated quantum phases of matter that eme…

Intrinsic high-fidelity spin polarization of charged vacancies in hexagonal boron nitride

Wonjae Lee, Vincent S. Liu, Zhelun Zhang +11

The negatively charged boron vacancy () in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has garnered significant attention among defects in two-dimensional materials. T…

Dirac spin liquid in quantum dipole arrays

Marcus Bintz, Vincent S. Liu, Johannes Hauschild +4

We predict that the gapless Dirac spin liquid naturally emerges in a two-dimensional array of quantum dipoles. In particular, we demonstrate that the dipolar XY model$\unico…

Probing critical phenomena in open quantum systems using atom arrays

Fang Fang, Kenneth Wang, Vincent S. Liu +8

At continuous phase transitions, quantum many-body systems exhibit scale-invariance and complex, emergent universal behavior. Most strikingly, at a quantum critical point, correlat…

Spectroscopy of elementary excitations from quench dynamics in a dipolar XY Rydberg simulator

Cheng Chen, Gabriel Emperauger, Guillaume Bornet +11

We use a Rydberg quantum simulator to demonstrate a new form of spectroscopy, called quench spectroscopy, which probes the low-energy excitations of a many-body system. We illustra…

Isotope engineering for spin defects in van der Waals materials

Ruotian Gong, Xinyi Du, Eli Janzen +9

Spin defects in van der Waals materials offer a promising platform for advancing quantum technologies. Here, we propose and demonstrate a powerful technique based on isotope engine…

Continuous Symmetry Breaking in a Two-dimensional Rydberg Array

Cheng Chen, Guillaume Bornet, Marcus Bintz +13

Spontaneous symmetry breaking underlies much of our classification of phases of matter and their associated transitions. The nature of the underlying symmetry being broken determin…
