• Title: Trapping and binding by dephasing
• Authors: Kaustav Mukherjee, Siddhartha Poddar, Sebastian W\"uster
• Abstract summary: We show that both can arise solely from spatially dependent dephasing, the simplest type of decoherence. For a single particle, we demonstrate a quantum particle-in-the-box based on dephasing. For two particles, we demonstrate their binding despite repulsive interactions, if their molecular states are dephased at large separations only.

• Abstract: The binding and trapping of particles usually rely on conservative forces, described by unitary quantum dynamics. We show that both can also arise solely from spatially dependent dephasing, the simplest type of decoherence. This can be based on continuous weak position measurements in only selected regions of space, for which we propose a practical realisation. For a single particle, we demonstrate a quantum particle-in-the-box based on dephasing. For two particles, we demonstrate their binding despite repulsive interactions, if their molecular states are dephased at large separations only. Both mechanisms are experimentally accessible, as we show for an example with Rydberg atoms in a cold gas background.

• On the Preservation and Manifestation of Quantum Entanglement [0.0]
  Bell experiments have confirmed that quantum entanglement is an inseparable correlation but there is no faster-than-light influence when a local measurement is performed. We show here that even though the inseparable correlation may be initially created by previous physical interaction between the two particles, the preservation and manifestation of such inseparable correlation are achieved through extremizing an information metric.

  Quasiparticles are emergent excitations of matter that underlie much of our understanding of quantum many-body systems. We take advantage of the clean setting of homogeneous quantum gases and fast radio-frequency control to manipulate Fermi polarons. We measure the decay rate and the quasiparticle residue of the driven polaron from the Rabi oscillations between the two internal states.

We predict a novel kind of bound quantum state in the simplest one-dimensional setup of two interacting particles in a box. Such states could be realized in the waveguide quantum electrodynamics platform.

  Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) effect can lead to a perfect suppression of two-particle coincidences between the output ports of a balanced beam splitter. In this work, we demonstrate experimentally that the two-particle coincidence statistics of two bosons can instead be seamlessly tuned to substantial enhancement. Our findings reveal a new approach to harnessing non-Hermitian settings for the manipulation of multi-particle quantum states.

• Interaction-induced topological properties of two bosons in flat-band systems [0.0]
  We show how interaction-induced hopping can be tuned to obtain a variety of two-body topological states. In particular, we consider two interacting bosons loaded into the orbital angular momentum $l=1$ states of a diamond-chain lattice. We identify a set of doubly localized two-boson flat-band states that give rise to a special instance of Aharonov-Bohm cages for arbitrary interactions.
