• Abstract summary: Local control and optical bilayer capabilities combined with spatially resolved measurements create a versatile toolbox. We show how coherent pairing correlations can be accessed in a partially particle-hole transformed and rotated basis. Finally, we introduce a scheme to measure momentum-resolved dopant densities, providing access to observables complementary to solid-state experiments.

• Abstract: The simulation of high-temperature superconducting materials by implementing strongly correlated fermionic models in optical lattices is one of the major objectives in the field of analog quantum simulation. Here we show that local control and optical bilayer capabilities combined with spatially resolved measurements create a versatile toolbox to study fundamental properties of both nickelate and cuprate high-temperature superconductors. On the one hand, we present a scheme to implement a mixed-dimensional (mixD) bilayer model that has been proposed to capture the essential pairing physics of pressurized bilayer nickelates. This allows for the long-sought realization of a state with long-range superconducting order in current lattice quantum simulation machines. In particular, we show how coherent pairing correlations can be accessed in a partially particle-hole transformed and rotated basis. On the other hand, we demonstrate that control of local gates enables the observation of $d$-wave pairing order in the two-dimensional (single-layer) repulsive Fermi-Hubbard model through the simulation of a system with attractive interactions. Lastly, we introduce a scheme to measure momentum-resolved dopant densities, providing access to observables complementary to solid-state experiments -- which is of particular interest for future studies of the enigmatic pseudogap phase appearing in cuprates.

  A novel type of cascaded quantum system has been realized using nanofiber-coupled cold atomic ensembles. We develop a new simulation technique based on the truncated Wigner approximation for spins. Our simulation tool can predict the second-order quantum coherence function, $g(2)$, along with other correlators of the light field emitted by a strongly excited cascaded system of two-level emitters.

We demonstrate that it is formed from the weak pairing of holes atop the QSH insulator. Motivated by this, we elucidate structural similarities and differences between our model and those of TBG in its chiral limit.

We show in exact diagonalization simulations of the one-dimensional $t-J$ model that the spinons start to populate previously unoccupied states in an effective band structure. The dependence of the spectral function on the time after the pump pulse reveals collective interactions among spinons.
