Topological edge states in a Rydberg composite
Matthew T. Eiles, Christopher W. Wächtler, Alexander Eisfeld +1
We examine topological phases and symmetry-protected electronic edge states in the context of a Rydberg composite: a Rydberg atom interfaced with a structured arrangement of ground…
Topological quantum synchronization of fractionalized spins
Christopher W. Wächtler, Joel E. Moore
The gapped symmetric phase of the Affleck-Kennedy-Lieb-Tasaki (AKLT) model exhibits fractionalized spins at the ends of an open chain. We show that breaking SU(2) symmetry and appl…
Entanglement generation between distant spins via quasilocal reservoir engineering
Josephine Dias, Christopher W. Wächtler, Kae Nemoto +1
The generation and preservation of entanglement is a central goal in quantum technology. Traditionally, dissipation in quantum systems is thought to be detrimental to entanglement,…
Topological synchronization of quantum van der Pol oscillators
Christopher W. Wächtler, Gloria Platero
To observe synchronization in a large network of classical or quantum systems demands both excellent control of the interactions between the nodes and very accurate preparation of…
Reservoir-assisted energy migration through multiple spin-domains
Josephine Dias, Christopher W. Wächtler, Victor M. Bastidas +2
The transfer of energy through a network of nodes is fundamental to both how nature and current technology operates. Traditionally we think of the nodes in a network being coupled…
