• Abstract summary: We develop and experimentally demonstrate that out-of-time-order correlators can be used to detect nonoequilibrium phase transitions in the transverse field Ising model. Further applications of this protocol could enable studies other of exotic phenomena such as many body localization, and tests of the holographic duality between quantum and gravitational systems.

• Abstract: Quantum many body system in equilibrium can be effectively characterized using the framework of quantum statistical mechanics. However, nonequilibrium behaviour of quantum many body systems remains elusive, out of the range of such a well established framework. Experiments in quantum simulators are now opening up a route towards the generation of quantum states beyond this equilibrium paradigm. As an example in closed quantum many body systems, dynamical quantum phase transitions behave as phase transitions in time with physical quantities becoming nonanalytic at critical times, extending important principles such as universality to the nonequilibrium realm. Here, in solid state quantum simulator we develop and experimentally demonstrate that out-of-time-order correlators, a central concept to quantify quantum information scrambling and quantum chaos, can be used to dynamically detect nonoequilibrium phase transitions in the transverse field Ising model. We also study the multiple quantum spectra, eventually observe the buildup of quantum correlation. Further applications of this protocol could enable studies other of exotic phenomena such as many body localization, and tests of the holographic duality between quantum and gravitational systems.

  We experimentally study collective dynamics across a (2+1)D Ising quantum phase transition. By deterministically preparing and following the evolution of ordered domains, we show that the coarsening is driven by the curvature of domain boundaries. We quantitatively explore these phenomena and further observe long-lived oscillations of the order parameter, corresponding to an amplitude (Higgs) mode.

• Quantum reservoir probing of quantum phase transitions [0.0]
  We show that quantum phase transitions can be detected through localized out-of-equilibrium excitations induced by local quantum quenches. The impacts of the local quenches vary across different quantum phases and are significantly suppressed by quantum fluctuations amplified near quantum critical points. We demonstrate that the QRP can detect quantum phase transitions in the paradigmatic integrable and nonintegrable quantum systems, and even topological quantum phase transitions.

• The Coming Decades of Quantum Simulation [0.0]
  We focus on various shades of quantum simulation (Noisy Intermediate Scale Quantum, NISQ) devices, analogue and digital quantum simulators and quantum annealers. There is a clear need and quest for such systems that, without necessarily simulating quantum dynamics of some physical systems, can generate massive, controllable, robust, entangled, and superposition states. This will, in particular, allow the control of decoherence, enabling the use of these states for quantum communications.

• Quantum Statistical Complexity Measure as a Signalling of Correlation Transitions [55.41644538483948]
  We introduce a quantum version for the statistical complexity measure, in the context of quantum information theory, and use it as a signalling function of quantum order-disorder transitions. We apply our measure to two exactly solvable Hamiltonian models, namely: the $1D$-Quantum Ising Model and the Heisenberg XXZ spin-$1/2$ chain. We also compute this measure for one-qubit and two-qubit reduced states for the considered models, and analyse its behaviour across its quantum phase transitions for finite system sizes as well as in the thermodynamic limit by using Bethe ansatz.
