Alignment and Optimisation of Optical Tweezers on Trapped Ions
M. Mazzanti, C. Robalo Pereira, N. A. Diepeveen +7
This paper presents a routine to align an optical tweezer on a single trapped ion and use the ion as a probe to characterize the tweezer. We find a smallest tweezer waist of $2.3(2…
Nonequilibrium dynamics of spin-boson models from phase space methods
A. Piñeiro Orioli, A. Safavi-Naini, M. L. Wall +1
An accurate description of the nonequilibrium dynamics of systems with coupled spin and bosonic degrees of freedom remains theoretically challenging, especially for large system si…
Boson-mediated quantum spin simulators in transverse fields: XY model and spin-boson entanglement
Michael L. Wall, Arghavan Safavi-Naini, Ana Maria Rey
The coupling of spins to long-wavelength bosonic modes is a prominent means to engineer long-range spin-spin interactions, and has been realized in a variety of platforms, such as…
Electric-field noise from carbon-adatom diffusion on a Au(110) surface: first-principles calculations and experiments
E. Kim, A. Safavi-Naini, D. A. Hite +4
The decoherence of trapped-ion quantum gates due to heating of their motional modes is a fundamental science and engineering problem. This heating is attributed to electric-field n…
Simulating generic spin-boson models with matrix product states
Michael L. Wall, Arghavan Safavi-Naini, Ana Maria Rey
The global coupling of few-level quantum systems ("spins") to a discrete set of bosonic modes is a key ingredient for many applications in quantum science, including large-scale en…
Equilibrium phases of two-dimensional bosons in quasi-periodic lattices
C. Zhang, A. Safavi-Naini, B. Capogrosso-Sansone
We report on results of Quantum Monte Carlo simulations for bosons in a two dimensional quasi-periodic optical lattice. We study the ground state phase diagram at unity filling and…
