• Authors: Carlo Cafaro, Paul M. Alsing
• Abstract summary: We present an explicit geodesic analysis of the trajectories that emerge from the quantum evolution of a single-qubit quantum state. In addition to viewing geodesics in ray space as paths of minimal length, we also verify the geodesicity of paths in terms of unit geometric efficiency and vanishing geometric phase.

• Abstract: In the geometry of quantum evolutions, a geodesic path is viewed as a path of minimal statistical length connecting two pure quantum states along which the maximal number of statistically distinguishable states is minimum. In this paper, we present an explicit geodesic analysis of the dynamical trajectories that emerge from the quantum evolution of a single-qubit quantum state. The evolution is governed by an Hermitian Hamiltonian operator that achieves the fastest possible unitary evolution between given initial and final pure states. Furthermore, in addition to viewing geodesics in ray space as paths of minimal length, we also verify the geodesicity of paths in terms of unit geometric efficiency and vanishing geometric phase. Finally, based on our analysis, we briefly address the main hurdles in moving to the geometry of quantum evolutions for open quantum systems in mixed quantum states.

We show that the acceleration squared of a quantum evolution in projective space is upper bounded by the variance of the temporal rate of change of the Hamiltonian operator.

For one-dimensional systems we find very precise estimations of the ground-state energies and the radial distribution functions of the particles. In two dimensions we obtain good estimations of the ground-state energies, comparable to results obtained from more conventional methods.

Here, we realize a quantum Hall system using ultracold dysprosium atoms, in a two-dimensional geometry formed by one spatial dimension. We demonstrate that the large number of magnetic sublevels leads to distinct bulk and edge behaviors.
