Disorder-free localization with Stark gauge protection
Haifeng Lang, Philipp Hauke, Johannes Knolle +2
Disorder-free localization in translation-invariant gauge theories presents a counterintuitive yet powerful framework of ergodicity breaking in quantum many-body physics. The fragi…
Enhancing disorder-free localization through dynamically emergent local symmetries
Jad C. Halimeh, Lukas Homeier, Hongzheng Zhao +4
Disorder-free localization is a recently discovered phenomenon of nonergodicity that can emerge in quantum many-body systems hosting gauge symmetries when the initial state is prep…
Confinement induced impurity states in spin chains
Joseph Vovrosh, Hongzheng Zhao, Johannes Knolle +1
Quantum simulators hold the promise of probing central questions of high-energy physics in tunable condensed matter platforms, for instance the physics of confinement. Local defect…
Quantum Many-Body Scars in Optical Lattices
Hongzheng Zhao, Joseph Vovrosh, Florian Mintert +1
The concept of quantum many-body scars has recently been put forward as a route to describe weak ergodicity breaking and violation of the Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis. We p…
Engineered Nearest-Neighbour Interactions with Doubly Modulated Optical Lattices
Hongzheng Zhao, Johannes Knolle, Florian Mintert
Optical lattice systems provide exceptional platforms for quantum simulation of many-body systems. We focus on the doubly modulated Bose-Hubbard model driven by both time-dependent…
Dynamics of a Lattice Gauge Theory with Fermionic Matter -- Minimal Quantum Simulator with Time-Dependent Impurities in Ultracold Gases
Adam Smith, Dmitry L. Kovrizhin, Roderich Moessner +1
We propose a minimal model to study the real-time dynamics of a lattice gauge theory coupled to fermionic matter in a cold atom quantum simulator setup. We show that…
