Title: Spin transport in a tunable Heisenberg model realized with ultracold atoms
Authors: Niklas Jepsen, Jesse Amato-Grill, Ivana Dimitrova, Wen Wei Ho, Eugene Demler, Wolfgang Ketterle
Abstract summary: We implement the Heisenberg XXZ model with adjustable anisotropy and study spin transport far from equilibrium. For positive anisotropies, the dynamics ranges from anomalous super-diffusion to sub-diffusion depending on anisotropy. For negative anisotropies, we observe a crossover in the time domain from ballistic to diffusive transport.

Abstract: Simple models of interacting spins play an important role in physics. They capture the properties of many magnetic materials, but also extend to other systems, such as bosons and fermions in a lattice, systems with gauge fields, high-Tc superconductors, and systems with exotic particles such as anyons and Majorana fermions. In order to study and compare these models, a versatile platform is needed. Realizing such a system has been a long-standing goal in the field of ultracold atoms. So far, spin transport has only been studied in the isotropic Heisenberg model. Here we implement the Heisenberg XXZ model with adjustable anisotropy and use this system to study spin transport far from equilibrium after quantum quenches from imprinted spin helix patterns. In the non-interacting XX model, we find ballistic behavior of spin dynamics, while in the isotropic XXX model, we find diffusive behavior. For positive anisotropies, the dynamics ranges from anomalous super-diffusion to sub-diffusion depending on anisotropy, whereas for negative anisotropies, we observe a crossover in the time domain from ballistic to diffusive transport. This behavior contrasts with expectations for the linear response regime and raises new questions in understanding quantum many-body dynamics far away from equilibrium.

Finding the Dynamics of an Integrable Quantum Many-Body System via Machine Learning [0.0]
We study the dynamics of the Gaudin magnet ("central-spin model") using machine-learning methods. Motivated in part by this intuition, we use a neural-network representation for each variational eigenstate of the model Hamiltonian. Having an efficient description of this susceptibility opens the door to improved characterization and quantum control procedures for qubits interacting with an environment of quantum two-level systems.

Halide perovskite artificial solids as a new platform to simulate collective phenomena in doped Mott insulators [43.55994393060723]
We introduce artificial lattices made of lead halide perovskite nanocubes as a new platform to simulate and investigate the physics of correlated quantum materials. We show that, at large photo-doping, the exciton gas undergoes an excitonic Mott transition, which fully realizes the magnetic-field-driven insulator-to-metal transition described by the Hubbard model. Our results demonstrate that time-resolved experiments span a parameter region of the Hubbard model in which long-range and phase-coherent orders emerge out of a doped Mott insulating phase.

Engineering random spin models with atoms in a high-finesse cavity [8.787025970442755]
We realise an all-to-all interacting, disordered spin system by subjecting an atomic cloud in a cavity to a controllable light shift. By probing the low-energy excitations of the system, we explore the competition of interactions with disorder across a broad parameter range. Results present significant steps towards freely programmable cavity-mediated interactions for the design of arbitrary spin Hamiltonians.

Formation of robust bound states of interacting microwave photons [148.37607455646454]
One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

We will consider quantum field theory models relevant for particle physics and replace the fermionic matter in these models by a bosonic one. This is motivated by the fact that bosons are more accessible'' and easier to manipulate for experimentalists, but this substitution'' also leads to new physics and novel phenomena.

Visualizing spinon Fermi surfaces with time-dependent spectroscopy [62.997667081978825]
We propose applying time-dependent photo-emission spectroscopy, an established tool in solid state systems, in cold atom quantum simulators. We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
