• Abstract summary: We study the dynamics of a (1+1)D U(1) quantum link model following quenches of its mass-term. We find that the system undergoes dynamical quantum phase transitions for all system sizes considered. We propose a class of superconducting circuits for the general implementation of U(1) quantum link models.

• Abstract: Lattice gauge theories are a fascinating and rich class of theories relating to the most fundamental models of particle physics, and as experimental control on the quantum level increases there is a growing interest in non-equilibrium effects such as dynamical quantum phase transitions. To demonstrate how these physical theories can be accessed in near-term quantum devices, we study the dynamics of a (1+1)D U(1) quantum link model following quenches of its mass-term. We find that the system undergoes dynamical quantum phase transitions for all system sizes considered, even the smallest where the dynamics can be solved analytically. We devise a gauge invariant string order parameter whose zeros correlates with the structure of the Loschmidt amplitude, making the order parameter useful for experimental study in near-term devices. The zeros of the Loschmidt amplitude as well as the zeros of our order parameter are revealed by vortices in their phases, which can be counted by a topologically invariant winding number. With noisy intermediate scale quantum devices in mind, we propose a class of superconducting circuits for the general implementation of U(1) quantum link models. The principles of these circuits can be generalized to implement other, more complicated gauge symmetries. Furthermore, the circuit can be modularly scaled to any lattice configuration. Simulating the circuit dynamics with realistic circuit parameters we find that it implements the target dynamics with a steady average fidelity of $ 99.5\% $ or higher. Finally, we consider readout of the circuit using a method that yields information about all the degrees of freedom with resonators coupled dispersively to only a subset of them. This constitutes a direct and relatively straightforward protocol to access both Loschmidt amplitudes and the order parameter.

  Non-relativistic interacting quantum many-body systems are naturally described in terms of continuous-space Hamiltonians. Current algorithms require discretization, which usually amounts to choosing a finite basis set, inevitably introducing errors. We propose an alternative, discretization-free approach that combines classical and quantum resources in a global variational ansatz.
