• Abstract summary: We use multi-pass Landau-Zener transitions at the avoided crossing of a highly-coherent superconducting qubit to emulate weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCF) The higher coherence of this qubit enabled the realization of both effects, in contrast to earlier work arXiv:1204.6428, which successfully emulated UCF, but did not observe WL.

• Abstract: In condensed matter systems, coherent backscattering and quantum interference in the presence of time-reversal symmetry lead to well-known phenomena such as weak localization (WL) and universal conductance fluctuations (UCF). Here we use multi-pass Landau-Zener transitions at the avoided crossing of a highly-coherent superconducting qubit to emulate these phenomena. The average and standard deviation of the qubit transition rate exhibit a dip and peak when the driving waveform is time-reversal symmetric, analogous to WL and UCF, respectively. The higher coherence of this qubit enabled the realization of both effects, in contrast to earlier work arXiv:1204.6428, which successfully emulated UCF, but did not observe WL. This demonstration illustrates the use of non-adiabatic control to implement quantum emulation with superconducting qubits.

  Spontaneous symmetry breaking ( SSB) is crucial to the occurrence of phase transitions. We present an experimental demonstration of the SSB process in the Lipkin-Meshkov-Glick model. The observed nonclassical correlations among these qubits in the symmetry-breaking region go beyond the conventional description of SSB.

• Quantum Coherence Tomography of Lightwave Controlled Superconductivity [0.06364409691582436]
  Lightwave periodic driving of nearly dissipation-less currents has recently emerged as a universal control concept for superconducting (SC) and topological electronics applications. We report the discovery of lightwave-controlled superconductivity via parametric time-periodic driving of strongly-coupled bands in iron-based superconductors. We are able to measure non-perturbative, high-order correlations in this strongly-driven superconductivity by separating the THz multi-dimensional coherent spectra into conventional pump-probe, Higgs collective mode, and pronounced bi-Higgs frequency sideband peaks with highly nonlinear field dependence.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems. Here, we propose a theory-independent route to probe the full ETH in quantum simulators by observing the emergence of fluctuation-dissipation relations. Our work presents a theory-independent way to characterize thermalization in quantum simulators and paves the way to quantum simulate condensed matter pump-probe experiments.

  We show that the simplest set-up of two qubits, harmonically trapped over an optical waveguide, enables the ultrastrong coupling regime of the quantum optomechanical interaction. The combination of the inherent open nature of the system and the strong optomechanical coupling leads to emerging parity-time (PT) symmetry. The $mathcalPT$ phase transition drives long-living subradiant states, observable in the state-of-the-art waveguide QED setups.
