Encoding Compact U(1) Gauge Fields in Bosonic Modes with GKP Stabilization
Victor Ale, Tommaso Rainaldi, Enrique Rico +2
Compact lattice gauge theories are formulated in terms of angular variables and integer electric fluxes, while bosonic quantum hardware provides oscillator modes with continuous, u…
Trigonometric continuous-variable gates and hybrid quantum simulations of the sine-Gordon model
Tommaso Rainaldi, Victor Ale, Matt Grau +5
Hybrid qubit-qumode quantum computing platforms provide a natural setting for simulating interacting bosonic quantum field theories. However, existing continuous-variable gate cons…
Simulating quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions with qubits and qumodes
Victor Ale, Tommaso Rainaldi, Enrique Rico +2
We develop a hybrid qubit-qumode framework for simulating quantum electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions. In this approach, fermionic matter fields are represented by qubits, while U(1)…
Real-Time Dynamics in a (2+1)-D Gauge Theory: The Stringy Nature on a Superconducting Quantum Simulator
Jesús Cobos, Joana Fraxanet, César Benito +7
Understanding the confinement mechanism in gauge theories and the universality of effective string-like descriptions of gauge flux tubes remains a fundamental challenge in modern p…
Oddities in the Entanglement Scaling of the Quantum Six-Vertex Model
Sunny Pradhan, Jesús Cobos, Enrique Rico +1
We investigate the entanglement properties of the Quantum Six-Vertex Model on a cylinder, focusing on the Shannon-Renyi entropy in the limit of Renyi order . This entro…
Topology by dissipation
C. -E. Bardyn, M. A. Baranov, C. V. Kraus +4
Topological states of fermionic matter can be induced by means of a suitably engineered dissipative dynamics. Dissipation then does not occur as a perturbation, but rather as the m…
Topology by Dissipation in Atomic Quantum Wires
S. Diehl, E. Rico, M. A. Baranov +1
Robust edge states and non-Abelian excitations are the trademark of topological states of matter, with promising applications such as "topologically protected" quantum memory and c…
