Title: Enhanced repulsively bound atom pairs in topological optical lattice ladders
Authors: Stuart Flannigan and Andrew J. Daley
Abstract summary: We investigate interacting bosons in a Cruetz ladder characterised by topological flat energy bands. It has been proposed that interactions can lead to the formation of bound atomic pairs giving rise to pair superfluidity. This work provides a starting point for investigating the interplay between the effects of topology, interactions and pairing in more general systems.

Abstract: There is a growing interest in using cold-atom systems to explore the effects of strong interactions in topological band structures. Here we investigate interacting bosons in a Cruetz ladder, which is characterised by topological flat energy bands where it has been proposed that interactions can lead to the formation of bound atomic pairs giving rise to pair superfluidity. By investigating realistic experimental implementations, we understand how the lattice topology enhances the properties of bound pairs giving rise to relatively large effective pair-tunnelling in these systems which can lead to robust pair superfluidity, and we find lattice supersolid phases involving only pairs. We identify schemes for preparation of these phases via time-dependent parameter variation and look at ways to detect and characterise these systems in a lattice. This work provides a starting point for investigating the interplay between the effects of topology, interactions and pairing in more general systems, with potential future connections to quantum simulation of topological materials.

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 investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of the phase diagram at half- and incommensurate fillings, in the mean-field approximation. We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

Qubit-photon bound states in topological waveguides with long-range hoppings [62.997667081978825]
Quantum emitters interacting with photonic band-gap materials lead to the appearance of qubit-photon bound states. We study the features of the qubit-photon bound states when the emitters couple to the bulk modes in the different phases. We consider the coupling of emitters to the edge modes appearing in the different topological phases.

Enhancement of quantum correlations and geometric phase for a driven bipartite quantum system in a structured environment [77.34726150561087]
We study the role of driving in an initial maximally entangled state evolving under a structured environment. This knowledge can aid the search for physical setups that best retain quantum properties under dissipative dynamics.

Self-organized topological insulator due to cavity-mediated correlated tunneling [0.0]
We discuss a model where topology emerges from the quantum interference between single-particle dynamics and global interactions. The onset of quantum interference leads to spontaneous breaking of the lattice translational symmetry. The emerging quantum phase is a topological insulator and is found at half fillings.

A study on quantum gases: bosons in optical lattices and the one-dimensional interacting Bose gas [0.0]
Bosonic atoms confined in optical lattices are described by the Bose-Hubbard model. In the vicinity of the phase boundary, there are degeneracies that occur between every two adjacent lobes. Motivated by this, we develop perturbative methods to solve the degeneracy-related problems.
