• Abstract: Excited-state quantum phase transitions (ESQPTs) extend the notion of quantum phase transitions beyond the ground state. They are characterized by closing energy gaps amid the spectrum. Identifying order parameters for ESQPTs poses however a major challenge. We introduce spinor Bose-Einstein condensates as a versatile platform for studies of ESQPTs. Based on the mean-field dynamics, we define a topological order parameter that distinguishes between excited-state phases, and discuss how to interferometrically access the order parameter in current experiments. Our work opens the way for the experimental characterization of excited-state quantum phases in atomic many-body systems.

  We present a quantum simulator comprising 69 superconducting qubits which supports both universal quantum gates and high-fidelity analog evolution.

We digitally prepare the system in pairwise-entangled dimer states and image the transport of energy and vorticity during thermalization.

  Quantum phase transitions universally exist in the ground and excited states of quantum many-body systems. We unravel that both the ground and excited-state quantum phase transitions in spinor condensates can be diagnosed with dynamical phase transitions. This work advances the exploration of excited-state quantum phase transitions via a scheme that can immediately be applied to a broad class of few-mode quantum systems.

The phase is characterize by the the behavior of the spatial density modulations, or stripes, induced by spin-orbit coupling. We show that the properties of the excited phase can be exploited to prepare stripe states with large and stable density modulations.
