• Abstract: Entanglement plays a central role in numerous fields of quantum science. However, as one departs from the typical "Alice versus Bob" setting into the world of indistinguishable fermions, it is not immediately clear how the concept of entanglement is defined among these identical particles. Our endeavor to recover the notion of subsystems, or mathematically speaking, the tensor product structure of the Hilbert space, lead to two natural pictures of defining fermionic entanglement: the particle picture and the mode picture. In the particle picture, entanglement characterizes the deviation of a fermionic quantum state from the non-interacting ones, e.g., single Slater determinants. In the mode picture, we recover the notion of subsystems, by referring to the partitioning of the orbital/mode that the fermions occupy, which allows us to naturally adopt the formalism of entanglement between distinguishable constituents. Both pictures reveal essential and interconnected aspects of fermionic entanglement, and thus offer precise tools for studying electron entanglement in highly relevant systems such as atoms and molecules. We showcase here two applications: i) resolving the correlation paradox in the molecular dissociation limit, ii) quantitative electronic structure analysis with orbital entanglement.

  One of the hallmarks of interacting systems is the formation of multi-particle bound states. 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 consider an ensemble of Alkali atoms that are continuously optically pumped and probed. Due to the collective scattering of photons at large optical depth, the steady state of atoms does not correspond to an uncorrelated tensor-product state. We find and characterize regimes of Raman lasing, akin to the model of a superradiant laser.

  Topological quantum phases underpin many concepts of modern physics. Here, we reveal that the quantum Hall phase with topological edge states, spectral Landau levels and Hofstadter butterfly can emerge in a simple quantum system. Such systems, arrays of two-level atoms (qubits) coupled to light being described by the classical Dicke model, have recently been realized in experiments with cold atoms and superconducting qubits.

  Excitations of small one-dimensional matter-wave solitons are considered within a framework of the attractive Bose-Hubbard model. We show that a single atom can be extracted while the remaining atoms stay localized despite the persistent external modulation. This scheme suggests the experimental realization of small matter-wave solitons with deterministic number of atoms.
