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…
Imaging the Meissner effect and flux trapping in a hydride superconductor at megabar pressures using a nanoscale quantum sensor
Prabudhya Bhattacharyya, Wuhao Chen, Xiaoli Huang +24
By directly altering microscopic interactions, pressure provides a powerful tuning knob for the exploration of condensed phases and geophysical phenomena. The megabar regime repres…
Boundary Strong Zero Modes
Christopher T. Olund, Norman Y. Yao, Jack Kemp
Strong zero modes are edge-localized degrees of freedom capable of storing information at infinite temperature, even in systems with no disorder. To date, their stability has only…
Colloquium: Quantum and Classical Discrete Time Crystals
Michael P. Zaletel, Mikhail Lukin, Christopher Monroe +3
The spontaneous breaking of time translation symmetry has led to the discovery of a new phase of matter - the discrete time crystal. Discrete time crystals exhibit rigid subharmoni…
Ergodicity breaking in rapidly rotating C60 fullerenes
Lee R. Liu, Dina Rosenberg, P. Bryan Changala +5
Ergodicity, the central tenet of statistical mechanics, requires that an isolated system will explore all of its available phase space permitted by energetic and symmetry constrain…
Magnetism in the two-dimensional dipolar XY model
Björn Sbierski, Marcus Bintz, Shubhayu Chatterjee +3
Motivated by a recent experiment on a square-lattice Rydberg atom array realizing a long-range dipolar XY model [Chen et al., Nature (2023)], we numerically study the model's equil…
Scalable spin squeezing in a dipolar Rydberg atom array
Guillaume Bornet, Gabriel Emperauger, Cheng Chen +11
The standard quantum limit bounds the precision of measurements that can be achieved by ensembles of uncorrelated particles. Fundamentally, this limit arises from the non-commuting…
Comment on "Traversable wormhole dynamics on a quantum processor"
Bryce Kobrin, Thomas Schuster, Norman Y. Yao
A recent article [Nature 612, 51-55 (2022)] claims to observe traversable wormhole dynamics in an experiment. This claim is based upon performing a teleportation protocol using a H…
Scalable Spin Squeezing from Finite Temperature Easy-plane Magnetism
Maxwell Block, Bingtian Ye, Brenden Roberts +7
Spin squeezing is a form of entanglement that reshapes the quantum projection noise to improve measurement precision. Here, we provide numerical and analytic evidence for the follo…
Quasi-Floquet prethermalization in a disordered dipolar spin ensemble in diamond
Guanghui He, Bingtian Ye, Ruotian Gong +4
Floquet (periodic) driving has recently emerged as a powerful technique for engineering quantum systems and realizing non-equilibrium phases of matter. A central challenge to stabi…
Quantum noise spectroscopy of dynamical critical phenomena
Francisco Machado, Eugene A. Demler, Norman Y. Yao +1
The transition between distinct phases of matter is characterized by the nature of fluctuations near the critical point. We demonstrate that noise spectroscopy can not only diagnos…
