• Abstract: We present a theoretical study of coherent quantum dynamics of a single magnetic fluxon (MF) trapped in Josephson junction parallel arrays (JJPAs) with large kinetic inductances. The MF is the topological excitation carrying one quantum of magnetic flux, $\Phi_0$. The MF is quantitatively described as the $2\pi$-kink in the distribution of Josephson phases, and for JJPAs with high kinetic inductances the characteristic length of such distribution ("the size" of MF) is drastically reduced. Characterizing such MFs by the Josephson phases of three consecutive Josephson junctions we analyse the various coherent macroscopic quantum effects in the MF quantum dynamics. In particular, we obtain the MF energy band originating from the coherent quantum tunnelling of a single MF between adjacent cells of JJPAs. The dependencies of the band width $\Delta$ on the Josephson coupling energy $E_J$, charging energy $E_C$ and the inductive energy of a cell $E_L$, are studied in detail. In long linear JJPAs the coherent quantum dynamics of MF demonstrates decaying quantum oscillations with characteristic frequency $f_{qb}=\Delta/h$. In short annular JJPAs the coherent quantum dynamics of MF displays complex oscillations controlled by the Aharonov-Casher phase $\chi \propto V_g$, where $V_g$ is an externally applied gate voltage. In the presence of externally applied dc bias, $I$, a weakly incoherent dynamics of quantum MF is realized in the form of macroscopic Bloch oscillations leading to a typical "nose" current-voltage characteristics of JJPAs. As ac current with frequency $f$ is applied the current-voltage characteristics displays a set of equidistant current steps at $I_n=2en f$.

  We explore the strong coupling limit of doped bosonic quantum magnets, specifically the antiferromagnetic (AFM) bosonic $t-J$ model. We find that in the low doping regime, bosonic holes tend to form partially-filled stripes, akin to those observed in high-$T_c$ cuprates. Our findings shed light on the role of particle statistics in strongly correlated quantum matter and connect to phases in the 2D Fermi-Hubbard and $t-J$ models.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

  Cooper pairs in superconducting electrodes of a Josephson junction (JJ) as an open system, coupled via Andreev scattering to external baths of electrons. Disequilibrium between the baths generates the direct-current bias applied to the JJ. We argue that this picture of the JJ as a quantum engine resolves open questions about the Josephson effect as an irreversible process and could open new perspectives in quantum thermodynamics and in the theory of dynamical systems.

  We show that the Zitterbewegung effect manifests itself as a series of quantum beats of the particle density in the long-time limit. We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
