Decoding conformal field theories: from supervised to unsupervised learning

En-Jui Kuo, Alireza Seif, Rex Lundgren +2

We use machine learning to classify rational two-dimensional conformal field theories. We first use the energy spectra of these minimal models to train a supervised learning algori…

Universal scattering with general dispersion relations

Yidan Wang, Michael J. Gullans, Xuesen Na +2

Many synthetic quantum systems allow particles to have dispersion relations that are neither linear nor quadratic functions. Here, we explore single-particle scattering in general…

Realizing and Probing Baryonic Excitations in Rydberg Atom Arrays

Fangli Liu, Seth Whitsitt, Przemyslaw Bienias +2

We propose a realization of mesonic and baryonic quasiparticle excitations in Rydberg atom arrays with programmable interactions. Recent experiments have shown that such systems po…

Observation of Domain Wall Confinement and Dynamics in a Quantum Simulator

W. L. Tan, P. Becker, F. Liu +11

Confinement is a ubiquitous mechanism in nature, whereby particles feel an attractive force that increases without bound as they separate. A prominent example is color confinement…

Real-time dynamics of string breaking in quantum spin chains

Roberto Verdel, Fangli Liu, Seth Whitsitt +2

String breaking is a central dynamical process in theories featuring confinement, where a string connecting two charges decays at the expense of the creation of new particle-antipa…

Torus Spectroscopy of the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa Quantum Field Theory: Free Dirac versus Chiral Ising Fixed Point

Michael Schuler, Stephan Hesselmann, Seth Whitsitt +3

We establish the universal torus low-energy spectra at the free Dirac fixed point and at the strongly coupled chiral Ising fixed point and their subtle crossover behaviour in the G…
