We observe that entanglement plays an important role in the emergence of replica symmetry breaking. This practicable system could serve as a testbed for exploring how quantum effects enrich the physics of spin glasses.

• Abstract: We describe simulations of the quantum dynamics of a confocal cavity QED system that realizes an intrinsically driven-dissipative spin glass. A close connection between open quantum dynamics and replica symmetry breaking is established, in which individual quantum trajectories are the replicas. We observe that entanglement plays an important role in the emergence of replica symmetry breaking in a fully connected, frustrated spin network of up to fifteen spin-1/2 particles. Quantum trajectories of entangled spins reach steady-state spin configurations of lower energy than that of semiclassical trajectories. Cavity emission allows monitoring of the continuous stochastic evolution of spin configurations, while backaction from this projects entangled states into states of broken Ising and replica symmetry. The emergence of spin glass order manifests itself through the simultaneous absence of magnetization and the presence of nontrivial spin overlap density distributions among replicas. Moreover, these overlaps reveal incipient ultrametric order, in line with the Parisi RSB solution ansatz for the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model. A nonthermal Parisi order parameter distribution, however, highlights the driven-dissipative nature of this quantum optical spin glass. This practicable system could serve as a testbed for exploring how quantum effects enrich the physics of spin glasses.

  We develop two methods to create entangled spin states corresponding to wave packets of composite particles in analog quantum simulators of Ising spin Hamiltonians. With a focus on trapped-ion simulators, we numerically benchmark both methods and show that high-fidelity wave packets can be achieved in near-term experiments.

  We show that an unconventional type of quantum spin liquid is born out from the pyrochlore system after the self-organized dimensional reduction. The stabilized quantum spin liquid exhibits an algebraic decay of correlations and vanishing excitation gap in the thermodynamic limit. This spin-liquid ground state persists in the presence of spin-orbit interactions, which expands the possibilities of realizing quantum spin liquids in real pyrochlore-structured materials.

  We numerically solve the time-dependent Schr"odinger equation of the total Hamiltonian when both the fields are made time-dependent and eventually vanish at the same time. We find, from our exact diaginalization results for small system sizes, evidence for quantum tunneling induced disappearance of the classical Almeida-Thouless phase boundary.

• Scalable spin squeezing in two-dimensional arrays of dipolar large-$S$ spins [0.0]
  We show that spin-spin interactions lead to scalable spin squeezing along the non-equilibrium unitary evolution in a coherent spin state. For sufficiently small quadratic shifts, the spin squeezing dynamics is akin to that produced by the paradigmatic one-axis-twisting (OAT) model. Spin squeezing with OAT-like scaling is shown to be protected by the robustness of long-range ferromagnetic order to quadratic shifts.

This unique coupling is found to enable control over the equilibrium magnon squeezing and a deterministic generation of squeezed even Fock states.

  Paramagnetic defects in diamond and hexagonal boron nitride possess a unique combination of spin and optical properties that make them solid-state qubits. Despite the coherence of these spin qubits being critically limited by spin-phonon relaxation, a full understanding of this process is not yet available. We demonstrate that low-frequency two-phonon modulations of the zero-field splitting are responsible for spin relaxation and decoherence.

The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
