Title: Critical behavior of lattice gauge theory Rydberg simulators from effective Hamiltonians
Authors: Jin Zhang, Shan-Wen Tsai, Yannick Meurice
Abstract summary: We consider multileg ladders of Rydberg atoms which have been proposed as quantum simulators for the compact Abelian Higgs model (CAHM) in 1+1 dimensions. Using numerical methods, we demonstrate the close correspondence between the physical simulator and the effective description for the ground state energy and real-time evolution.

Abstract: We consider multileg ladders of Rydberg atoms which have been proposed as quantum simulators for the compact Abelian Higgs model (CAHM) in 1+1 dimensions [Y. Meurice, Phys. Rev. D 104, 094513 (2021)] and modified versions of theses simulators such as triangular prisms. Starting with the physical Hamiltonian for the analog simulator, we construct translation-invariant effective Hamiltonians by integrating over the simulator high-energy states produced by the blockade mechanism when some of the atoms are sufficiently close to each others. Remarkably, for all the simulators considered, the effective Hamiltonians have the three types of terms present for the CAHM (Electric field, matter charge and currents energies) but, in addition, terms quartic in the electric field. For the two leg ladder, these additional terms cannot be removed by fine-tuning the adjustable parameters of currently available devices. For positive detuning, the new terms create highly-degenerate vacua resulting in a very interesting phase diagram. Using numerical methods, we demonstrate the close correspondence between the physical simulator and the effective description for the ground state energy and real-time evolution. We discuss the phase diagram at fixed geometry with variable Rabi frequency and detuning and show that a rich variety of phases can be reached with potential interest in the context of QCD at finite density. We illustrate how the effective description can be used to design simulators with desirable properties from the point of view of constructing hybrid event generators.

Production of lattice gauge-Higgs topological states in measurement-only quantum circuit [0.0]
We conjecture that Hamiltonian dynamics can be simulated by measurement-only circuit (MoC) Based on terms in the Hamiltonian and ratios of their parameters (coefficients), we propose a guiding principle for the choice of the measured operators called stabilizers. We find that the MoC constructed by the guiding principle reproduces phase diagram very similar to that of the ground state of the gauge-Higgs Hamiltonian.

Fermionic approach to variational quantum simulation of Kitaev spin models [50.92854230325576]
Kitaev spin models are well known for being exactly solvable in a certain parameter regime via a mapping to free fermions. We use classical simulations to explore a novel variational ansatz that takes advantage of this fermionic representation. We also comment on the implications of our results for simulating non-Abelian anyons on quantum computers.

Theoretical methods to design and test quantum simulators for the compact Abelian Higgs model [0.0]
In 1+1 dimensions, the Abelian Higgs model can be quantum simulated using a ladder-shaped optical lattice with Rydberg-dressed atoms. We show that the building blocks of the Hamiltonian calculations are models with one and two spins. We argue that near-term technology could be used to quantum simulate models with two or more spins.

We introduce a technique that can substantially extend the reach of quantum simulators using an external field gradient along the ion chain and a global, uniform driving field. The technique can be used to generate both static and time-varying synthetic gauge fields in a linear chain of trapped ions. It enables continuous simulation of geometries of a variety of coupling and topologies, including periodic boundary conditions and high dimensional Hamiltonians.

We show that fixed points of the non-linear O(3) sigma model can be reproduced near a quantum phase transition of a spin model with just two qubits per lattice site. We apply Trotter methods to obtain results for the complexity of adiabatic ground state preparation in both the weak-coupling and quantum-critical regimes. We present and analyze a quantum algorithm based on non-unitary randomized simulation methods.

We propose an analog simulator for discrete 2D quantum chemistry models based on cold atoms in optical lattices. We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
