• Abstract summary: We study scattering events due to meson collisions in a quantum spin chain with long-range interactions. We show how novel hadronic boundstates, e.g. with four constituent particles akin to tetraquarks, may form dynamically in fusion events. We propose two controllable protocols which allow for a clear observation of dynamical hadron formation.

• Abstract: The study of confinement in quantum spin chains has seen a large surge of interest in recent years. It is not only important for understanding a range of effective one-dimensional condensed matter realizations, but also shares some of the non-perturbative physics with quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which makes it a prime target for current quantum simulation efforts. In analogy with QCD, the confinement-induced two-particle boundstates that appear in these models are dubbed mesons. Here, we study scattering events due to meson collisions in a quantum spin chain with long-range interactions such that two mesons have an extended interaction. We show how novel hadronic boundstates, e.g. with four constituent particles akin to tetraquarks, may form dynamically in fusion events. In a natural collision their signal is weak as elastic meson scattering dominates. However, we propose two controllable protocols which allow for a clear observation of dynamical hadron formation. We discuss how this physics can be simulated in trapped ion or Rydberg atom set-ups.

We develop a high fidelity parameterizable fSim gate that implements the periodic quantum circuit of the spin-1/2 XXZ model. By placing microwave photons in adjacent qubit sites, we study the propagation of these excitations and observe their bound nature for up to 5 photons.

  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.
