• Authors: Yannick Meurice
• Abstract summary: In 1+1 dimensions, the Abelian Higgs model can be quantum simulated using a ladder-shaped optical lattice with Rydberg-dressed atoms. We show that the building blocks of the Hamiltonian calculations are models with one and two spins. We argue that near-term technology could be used to quantum simulate models with two or more spins.

• Abstract: The lattice compact Abelian Higgs model is a non-perturbative regularized formulation of low-energy scalar quantum electrodynamics. In 1+1 dimensions, this model can be quantum simulated using a ladder-shaped optical lattice with Rydberg-dressed atoms (Zhang et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 223201). In this setup, one spatial dimension is used to carry the angular momentum of the quantum rotors. One can use truncations corresponding to spin-2 and spin-1 to build local Hilbert spaces associated with the links of the lattice. We argue that ladder-shaped configurable arrays of Rydberg atoms can be used for the same purpose. We make concrete proposals involving two and three Rydberg atoms to build one local spin-1 space (a qutrit). We show that the building blocks of the Hamiltonian calculations are models with one and two spins. We compare target and simulators using perturbative and numerical methods. The two-atom setup provides an easily controllable simulator of the one-spin model while the three-atom setup involves solving nonlinear equations. This could be tested with current technology. We argue that near-term technology could be used to quantum simulate models with two or more spins.

  Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories (LGTs) aims at tackling non-perturbative particle and condensed matter physics. One of the current challenges is to go beyond 1+1 dimensions, where four-body (plaquette) interactions, not contained naturally in quantum simulating devices, appear. We show how to prepare the ground state and measure Wilson loops using state-of-the-art techniques in atomic physics.

  We give scalable, explicit digital quantum algorithms to simulate the lattice Schwinger model in both NISQ and fault-tolerant settings. In lattice units, we find a Schwinger model on $N/2$ physical sites with coupling constant $x-1/2$ and electric field cutoff $x-1/2Lambda$. We estimate observables which we cost in both the NISQ and fault-tolerant settings by assuming a simple target observable---the mean pair density.

  We propose an analog simulator for discrete 2D quantum chemistry models based on cold atoms in optical lattices. We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
