• Abstract: We construct two free fermion lattice models exhibiting Hawking pair creation. Specifically, we consider the simplest case of a d=1+1 massless Dirac fermion, for which the Hawking effect can be understood in terms of a quench of the uniform vacuum state with a non-uniform Hamiltonian that interfaces modes with opposite chirality. For both our models we find that additional modes arising from the lattice discretization play a crucial role, as they provide the bulk reservoir for the Hawking radiation: the Hawking pairs emerge from fermions deep inside the Fermi sea scattering off the effective black hole horizon. Our first model combines local hopping dynamics with a translation over one lattice site, and we find the resulting Floquet dynamics to realize a causal horizon, with fermions scattering from the region outside the horizon. For our second model, which relies on a purely local hopping Hamiltonian, we find the fermions to scatter from the inside. In both cases, for Hawking temperatures up to the inverse lattice spacing we numerically find the resulting Hawking spectrum to be in perfect agreement with the Fermi-Dirac quantum field theory prediction.

  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 focus on the Kane-Mele model with and without Rashba spin-orbit coupling as a well-known model. We derive explicit expressions for the wave functions, energy dispersion relations, and the spin rotations of the (generic) helical edge states. Our perturbative framework also allows deriving an explicit form for the rotation of the spins of the momentum edge states in the absence of axial spin symmetry.

  Quantum emitters in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) were recently reported to hol a homogeneous linewidth according to the Fourier-Transform limit up to room temperature. This unusual observation was traced back to decoupling from in-plane phonon modes which can arise if the emitter is located between two planes of the hBN host material.
