• Abstract summary: This work focuses on the dynamical preparation of a quantum-spin-liquid state on a Rydberg-atom simulator. The flexibility of our approach does not only allow one to match the physically correct form of the Rydberg-atom Hamiltonian but also the relevant lattice topology. We show that, while the simulated state exhibits (global) topological order and local properties resembling those of a resonating-valence-bond (RVB) state, it lacks the latter's characteristic topological entanglement entropy signature.

• Abstract: Predicting the dynamical properties of topological matter is a challenging task, not only in theoretical and experimental settings, but also numerically. This work proposes a variational approach based on a time-dependent correlated Ansatz, focusing on the dynamical preparation of a quantum-spin-liquid state on a Rydberg-atom simulator. Within this framework, we are able to faithfully represent the state of the system throughout the entire dynamical preparation protocol. The flexibility of our approach does not only allow one to match the physically correct form of the Rydberg-atom Hamiltonian but also the relevant lattice topology. This is unlike previous numerical studies which were constrained to simplified versions of the problem through the modification of both the Hamiltonian and the lattice. Our approach further gives access to global quantities such as the topological entanglement entropy ($\gamma$), providing insight into the topological properties of the system. This is achieved by the introduction of the time-dependent variational Monte Carlo (t-VMC) technique to the dynamics of topologically ordered phases. Upon employing a Jastrow variational Ansatz with a scalable number of parameters, we are able to efficiently extend our simulations to system sizes matching state-of-the-art experiments and beyond. Our results corroborate experimental observations, confirming the presence of topological order during the dynamical state-preparation protocol, and additionally deepen our understanding of topological entanglement dynamics. We show that, while the simulated state exhibits (global) topological order and local properties resembling those of a resonating-valence-bond (RVB) state, it lacks the latter's characteristic topological entanglement entropy signature $\gamma = \ln(2)$, irrespective of the degree of adiabaticity of the protocol.

  We find that the complexity of quantum many-body states, defined as a spread, may serve as a new probe that distinguishes topological phases of matter. We illustrate this analytically in one of the representative examples, the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, finding that spread complexity becomes constant in the topological phase.

  The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) offers a universal mechanism for the approach to equilibrium of closed quantum many-body systems.
