• Abstract: We experimentally emulate interaction induced blockade and local spin freezing in two and three qubit Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) architecture. These phenomena are identical to the Rydberg blockade and Rydberg biased freezing. In Rydberg blockade, the simultaneous excitation of two or more atoms is blocked due to the level shift induced by the strong Van der Waal's interaction. In such a strong interaction regime, one can also observe Rydberg biased freezing, wherein the dynamics is confined to a subspace, with the help of multiple drives with unequal amplitudes. Here we drive NMR qubits with specific transition-selective radio waves, while intermittently characterizing the quantum states via quantum state tomography. This not only allows us to track the population dynamics, but also helps to probe quantum correlations, by means of quantum discord, evolving under blockade and freezing phenomena. While, our work constitutes the first experimental simulations of these phenomena in the NMR platform, it is also the first experimental demonstration of Rydberg biased freezing. Moreover, these studies open up interesting quantum control perspectives in exploiting the above phenomena for entanglement generation as well as subspace manipulations.

In the presence of interactions, such topological transport can even persist for exotic paths in which the system gets arbitrarily close to the noninteracting singularity.

  We employ a Rydberg quantum simulator to experimentally demonstrate strongly correlated spin transport in anisotropic Heisenberg magnets. In our approach, the motion of magnons is controlled by an induced spin-exchange interaction through Rydberg dressing. As the most prominent signature of a giant anisotropy, we show that nearby Rydberg excitations form distinct types of magnon bound states.

• Many-body radiative decay in strongly interacting Rydberg ensembles [0.0]
  When atoms are excited to high-lying Rydberg states they interact strongly with dipolar forces. We show that these interactions have also a significant impact on dissipative effects caused by the inevitable coupling of Rydberg atoms to the surrounding electromagnetic field. We discuss how this collective dissipation - stemming from a mechanism different from the much studied super- and sub-radiance - accelerates decoherence and affects dissipative phase transitions in Rydberg ensembles.

• Fractional resonances and prethermal states in Floquet systems [0.0]
  In periodically-driven quantum systems, resonances can induce exotic nonequilibrium behavior and new phases of matter without static analog. We report on the emergence of fractional and integer resonances in a broad class of many-body Hamiltonians with a modulated hopping with a frequency that is either a fraction or an integer of the on-site interaction. Our findings reveal novel features of the nonequilibrium quantum many-body system, such as the coexistence of Floquet prethermalization and localization.
