- Authors: Ananda Roy and Sergei L. Lukyanov
- Abstract summary: We analyze the confinement of sine-Gordon solitons into mesonic bound states in a one-dimensional quantum electronic circuit(QEC) array.
The interactions occurring naturally in the QEC array, due to tunneling of Cooper-pairs and pairs of Cooper-pairs, give rise to a non-integrable, interacting, lattice model of quantum rotors.

- Abstract: Confinement of topological excitations into particle-like states - typically
associated with theories of elementary particles - are known to occur in
condensed matter systems, arising as domain-wall confinement in quantum spin
chains. However, investigation of confinement in the condensed matter setting
has rarely ventured beyond lattice spin systems. Here, we analyze the
confinement of sine-Gordon solitons into mesonic bound states in a
one-dimensional, quantum electronic circuit~(QEC) array, constructed using
experimentally-demonstrated circuit elements: Josephson junctions, capacitors
and $0-\pi$ qubits. The interactions occurring naturally in the QEC array, due
to tunneling of Cooper-pairs and pairs of Cooper-pairs, give rise to a
non-integrable, interacting, lattice model of quantum rotors. In the scaling
limit, the latter is described by the quantum sine-Gordon model, perturbed by a
cosine potential with a different periodicity. We compute the string tension of
confinement of sine-Gordon solitons and the changes in the low-lying spectrum
in the perturbed model. The scaling limit is reached faster for the QEC array
compared to conventional spin chain regularizations, allowing high-precision
numerical investigation of the strong-coupling regime of this non-integrable
quantum field theory. Our results, obtained using the density matrix
renormalization group method, could be verified in a quench experiment using
state-of-the-art QEC technologies.
