Observation of a prethermal discrete time crystal
Antonis Kyprianidis, Francisco Machado, William Morong +9
The conventional framework for defining and understanding phases of matter requires thermodynamic equilibrium. Extensions to non-equilibrium systems have led to surprising insights…
Programmable Quantum Simulations of Spin Systems with Trapped Ions
C. Monroe, W. C. Campbell, L. -M. Duan +10
Laser-cooled and trapped atomic ions form an ideal standard for the simulation of interacting quantum spin models. Effective spins are represented by appropriate internal energy le…
Quantum Approximate Optimization of the Long-Range Ising Model with a Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulator
G. Pagano, A. Bapat, P. Becker +13
Quantum computers and simulators may offer significant advantages over their classical counterparts, providing insights into quantum many-body systems and possibly improving perfor…
Cryogenic Trapped-Ion System for Large Scale Quantum Simulation
G. Pagano, P. W. Hess, H. B. Kaplan +9
We present a cryogenic ion trapping system designed for large scale quantum simulation of spin models. Our apparatus is based on a segmented-blade ion trap enclosed in a 4 K cryost…
