• Abstract: We propose an analog quantum simulation of chiral magnetic dynamics using ultracold atoms in an optical superlattice. The massive Schwinger model in the zero gauge coupling limit maps onto the Rice-Mele model, with the fermion mass and topological angle encoded in the superlattice parameters. We study the real-time dynamics of the vector current following two quench protocols that drive continuous chirality injection and chirality relaxation. Simulations with realistic superlattice parameters and experimental noise demonstrates clear mass dependence of the current dynamics in both protocols, robust against experimental imperfections. The vector current may be directly measurable via single-bond-resolved detection, establishing cold atom superlattices as a viable platform for probing non-equilibrium chiral phenomena.

A comparison with exact data obtained for a Holstein chain shows that a semiclassical treatment of both the electrons and phonons is required in order to correctly describe the phononic dynamics.

• Real-time chiral dynamics from a digital quantum simulation [1.8655840060559168]
  The chiral magnetic effect in a strong magnetic field can be described using the chiral anomaly in the $(1+1)$-dimensional massive Schwinger model. We observe the corresponding vector current induced in a system of relativistic fermions by a sudden change in the chiral chemical potential or $theta$-angle. Our results are relevant for the real-time dynamics of chiral magnetic effect in heavy ion collisions and in chiral materials, as well as for modeling high-energy processes at hadron colliders.
