Abstract: We simulate the the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model using Rydberg-atom synthetic dimensions constructed, in a single atom, from a ladder of six neighboring $n\:^3S_1$ Rydberg states in which adjacent states are coupled with two-photon transitions using microwave fields. Alternating strong/weak tunneling rates, controlled by adjusting the microwave amplitudes, are varied to map out the topological phase transition as a function of the ratio of the tunneling rates. For each ratio, quench dynamics experiments, in which the system is initially prepared in one of the bulk Rydberg states and then subjected to the microwave fields, are performed to measure the population evolution of the system. From the dynamics measurements, we extract the mean chiral displacement and verify that its long-time average value converges towards the system winding number. The topological phase transition is also examined by probing the energy spectrum of the system in steady state and observing the disappearance of the zero-energy edge states. The results show that even a system with as few as six levels can demonstrate the essential characteristics of the SSH Hamiltonian.

An atom is first excited to a Rydberg state that lies within the lattice then subject to the microwave dressing fields. The measurements show the existence of long-lived symmetry-protected edge states and reveal the existence of direct long-distance tunneling between the edge states.

Simulating spin measurement with a finite heat bath model for the environment [2.8360662552057323]
Spin measurement is studied as a unitary time evolution of the spin coupled to an environment representing the meter and the apparatus. We perform numerical simulations of projective measurements of the polarization, with the spins prepared initially in a neutral pure state. The expected quantum randomness in the final state is manifest in our simulations as a tendency of the spin to approach either one of the two eigenstates of the measured spin operator.

We investigate a realistic scenario for the quantum simulation of such systems using cold Rydberg-dressed atoms in optical lattices. We perform a detailed analysis of the phase diagram at half- and incommensurate fillings, in the mean-field approximation. We furthermore study the stability of the phases with respect to temperature within the mean-field approximation.

Rotation-driven transition into coexistent Josephson modes in an atomtronic dc-SQUID [0.0]
We show that transitions to different arrays of coexistent regimes in the phase space can be attained by rotating a double-well system. In particular, we show that within a determined rotation frequency interval, a hopping parameter, usually disregarded in nonrotating systems, turns out to rule the dynamics.
