Abstract: The introduction of optical tweezers for trapping atoms has opened remarkable opportunities for manipulating few-body systems. Here, we present the first bottom-up assembly of atom triads. We directly observe atom loss through inelastic collisions at the single event level, overcoming the substantial challenge in many-atom experiments of distinguishing one-, two-, and three-particle processes. We measure a strong suppression of three-body loss, which is not fully explained by the presently availably theory for three-body processes. The suppression of losses could indicate the presence of local anti-correlations due to the interplay of attractive short range interactions and low dimensional confinement. Our methodology opens a promising pathway in experimental few-body dynamics.

Observation of superradiant bursts in a cascaded quantum system [0.0]
Dicke superradiance describes the collective radiative decay of a fully inverted ensemble of two-level atoms. We experimentally investigate this effect for a chiral, i.e.,direction-dependent light--matter coupling. Our results shed light on the collective radiative dynamics of cascaded quantum many-body systems.

Trapped-Ion Quantum Simulation of Collective Neutrino Oscillations [55.41644538483948]
We study strategies to simulate the coherent collective oscillations of a system of N neutrinos in the two-flavor approximation using quantum computation. We find that the gate complexity using second order Trotter- Suzuki formulae scales better with system size than with other decomposition methods such as Quantum Signal Processing.

A multiconfigurational study of the negatively charged nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond [55.58269472099399]
Deep defects in wide band gap semiconductors have emerged as leading qubit candidates for realizing quantum sensing and information applications. Here we show that unlike single-particle treatments, the multiconfigurational quantum chemistry methods, traditionally reserved for atoms/molecules, accurately describe the many-body characteristics of the electronic states of these defect centers.
