Critical quantum metrology robust against dissipation and non-adiabaticity
Jia-Hao Lü, Wen Ning, Fan Wu +6
Critical systems near quantum phase transitions were predicted to be useful for improvement of metrological precision, thanks to their ultra-sensitive response to a tiny variation…
Implementation and topological characterization of Weyl exceptional rings in quantum-mechanical systems
Hao-Long Zhang, Pei-Rong Han, Xue-Jia Yu +8
Non-Hermiticity can lead to the emergence of many intriguing phenomena that are absent in Hermitian systems, enabled by exceptional topological defects, among which Weyl exceptiona…
Observation of photonic dynamics in dissipative quantum Rabi models
Wen Ning, Ri-Hua Zheng, Jia-Hao Lü +5
The quantum Rabi model (QRM), composed of a qubit interacting with a quantized photonic field, is a cornerstone of quantum optics. The QRM with dominant unitary dynamics has been d…
Experimental demonstration of spontaneous symmetry breaking with emergent multi-qubit entanglement
Ri-Hua Zheng, Wen Ning, Jia-Hao Lü +8
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is crucial to the occurrence of phase transitions. Once a phase transition occurs, a quantum system presents degenerate eigenstates that lack th…
Critical sensing with a single bosonic mode without boson-boson interactions
Ken Chen, Jia-Hao Lü, Xin Zhu +4
Critical phenomena of quantum systems are useful for enhancement of quantum sensing. However, experimental realizations of criticality enhancement have been confined to very few sy…
Experimental observation of spontaneous symmetry breaking in a quantum phase transition
Wen Ning, Ri-Hua Zheng, Jia-Hao Lü +3
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) plays a central role in understanding a large variety of phenomena associated with phase transitions, such as superfluid and superconductivity.…
