• Abstract summary: A single bichromatic field near-resonant to a qubit transition is typically used for $hatsigma_x$ or $hatsigma_y$ Molmer-Sorensen type interactions in trapped ion systems. It is also possible to synthesize a $hatsigma_z$ spin-dependent force by merely adjusting the beat-note frequency.

• Abstract: A single bichromatic field near-resonant to a qubit transition is typically used for $\hat{\sigma}_x$ or $\hat{\sigma}_y$ M{\o}lmer-S{\o}rensen type interactions in trapped ion systems. Using this field configuration, it is also possible to synthesize a $\hat{\sigma}_z$ spin-dependent force by merely adjusting the beat-note frequency. Here, we expand on previous work and present a comprehensive theoretical and experimental investigation of this scheme with a laser near-resonant to a quadrupole transition in $^{88}$Sr$^+$. Further, we characterise its robustness to optical phase and qubit frequency offsets, and demonstrate its versatility by entangling optical, metastable, and ground state qubits.

  A spin-dependent electron-phonon coupling model is investigated on a half-filled square lattice. Spin-orbit coupling emerges as an order in the ground state for any $lambda$ in the adiabatic limit. Our work opens up the possibility of hidden spin-orbit coupling in materials where it is otherwise forbidden by lattice symmetry.

  We study multilevel fermions in an optical lattice described by the Hubbard model with on site SU($n$)-symmetric interactions. Raman pulses that address internal spin states modify the atomic dispersion relation and induce spin-orbit coupling. Our predictions are readily testable in current experiments with ultracold alkaline-earth(-like) atoms.

  We introduce a novel algorithmic cooling protocol for transferring phonons from poorly- to efficiently-cooled modes. We demonstrate it experimentally by simultaneously bringing two motional modes of a Be$+$-Ar$13+$ mixed Coulomb crystal close to their zero-point energies. We reach the lowest temperature reported for a highly charged ion, with a residual temperature of only $Tlesssim200mathrmmu K$ in each of the two modes.

• Effective Theory for the Measurement-Induced Phase Transition of Dirac Fermions [0.0]
  A wave function exposed to measurements undergoes pure state dynamics. For many-particle systems, the competition of these different elements of dynamics can give rise to a scenario similar to quantum phase transitions. A key finding is that this field theory decouples into one set of degrees of freedom that heats up indefinitely.

We show that the spatially homogeneous tilt $beta$ of the dipoles giving rise to the anisotropic dipole exchange leads to the non-trivial reentrant localization beyond the locator expansion.
