• Abstract: Recent experiments demonstrated that single-particle quantum walks can reveal the topological properties of single-particle states. Here, we generalize this picture to the many-body realm by focusing on multiparticle quantum walks of strongly interacting fermions. After injecting $N$ particles with multiple flavors in the interacting SU$(N)$ Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain, their multiparticle continuous-time quantum walk is monitored by a variety of methods. We find that the many-body Berry phase in the $N$-body part of the spectrum signals a topological transition upon varying the dimerization, similarly to the single-particle case. This topological transition is captured by the single- and many-body mean chiral displacement during the quantum walk and remains present for strong interaction as well as for moderate disorder. Our predictions are well within experimental reach for cold atomic gases and can be used to detect the topological properties of many-body excitations through dynamical probes.

  We propose a variational approach to explore quasiparticle excitations in interacting quantum many-body systems. We benchmark the proposed algorithm via numerical simulations performed on the one-dimension transverse field Ising chain. We show that the localized quasiparticle states constructed with VQE contain accessible information on the full band of quasiparticles.

  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 observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

  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 winding number of the Hamiltonian eigenstates can be read-out by measuring the mean chiral displacement of a single-particle wavefunction. This implies that the mean chiral displacement can detect the winding number even when the underlying Hamiltonian is quenched between different topological phases.
