Abstract

We propose the analog-digital quantum simulation of the quantum Rabi and Dicke models using circuit quantum electrodynamics (QED). We find that all physical regimes, in particular those which are impossible to realize in typical cavity QED setups, can be simulated via unitary decomposition into digital steps. Furthermore, we show the emergence of the Dirac equation dynamics from the quantum Rabi model when the mode frequency vanishes. Finally, we analyze the feasibility of this proposal under realistic superconducting circuit scenarios.

Digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits

Lucas Lamata

We propose a digital-analog quantum simulation of generalized Dicke models with superconducting circuits, including Fermi- Bose condensates, biased and pulsed Dicke models, for all regimes of light-matter coupling. We encode these classes of problems in a set of superconducting qubits coupled with a bosonic mode implemented by a transmission line resonator. Via digital-analog techniques, an efficient quantum simulation can be performed in state-of-the-art circuit quantum electrodynamics platforms, by suitable decomposition into analog qubit-bosonic blocks and collective single-qubit pulses through digital steps. Moreover, just a single global analog block would be needed during the whole protocol in most of the cases, superimposed with fast periodic pulses to rotate and detune the qubits. Therefore, a large number of digital steps may be attained with this approach, providing a reduced digital error. Additionally, the number of gates per digital step does not grow with the number of qubits, rendering the simulation efficient. This strategy paves the way for the scalable digital-analog quantum simulation of many-body dynamics involving bosonic modes and spin degrees of freedom with superconducting circuits.

Simulating the Quantum Rabi Model in Superconducting Qubits at Deep Strong Coupling

Noureddine Rochdi, Atta Ur Rahman, R. Ahl Laamara +1 more

The Quantum Rabi model serves as a pivotal theoretical framework for elucidating the nuanced interplay between light and matter. Utilizing circuit quantum electrodynamics on a chip, we address the challenge of achieving deep strong coupling in Quantum Cavity Electrodynamics (cQED). Despite progress in superconducting circuits and trapped ions, experimental realization has been limited to spectroscopy. Our focus is on a transformative digital quantum simulation, employing Trotterization with an augmented number of steps to deconstruct a complex unitary Hamiltonian. This approach showcases the benefits of digital techniques within superconducting circuits, offering universality, flexibility, scalability, and high fidelity. Our goal is to demonstrate deep strong coupling in cQED and understand the advantages of digital methods, particularly in coherent measurement during time evolution with varying photon counts in resonators. This opens avenues to leverage quantum mechanics for overcoming hardware limitations.

We propose the implementation of a digital quantum simulator for prototypical spin models in a circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture. We consider the feasibility of the quantum simulation of Heisenberg and frustrated Ising models in transmon qubits coupled to coplanar waveguide microwave resonators. Furthermore, we analyze the time evolution of these models and compare the ideal spin dynamics with a realistic version of the proposed quantum simulator. Finally, we discuss the key steps for developing a toolbox of digital quantum simulators in superconducting circuits.

Digital-Analog quantum Rabi simulation in the Deep Strong Coupling Regime

Noureddine Rochdi, R. Ahl Laamara, Mohamed Bennai

We study the quantum Rabi model (QRM) in the deep strong coupling (DSC) regime. To capture the full dynamics of the QRM in the DSC regime, we implemented single-qubit rotations combined with integrated digital steps and qubit-bosonic blocks. This approach leads to a paradigm known as digital analog quantum simulations (DAQSs). In this work, we review the encoding of QRM in the DSC regime through emerging paradigms of digital and analog techniques. Using DAQSs encoding, an efficient simulation can be performed on state-of-the-art circuit quantum electrodynamics platforms. Finally, we provide detailed information on the dynamics of the QRM in varity of parameter regions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the DAQS paradigms in achieving prolonged coherent measurements during time evolution, even in the case of perturbative DSC regime dynamics. This proposal lays the groundwork for simulating complex many-body dynamics that involve bosonic modes.

Analog–Digital Quantum Simulation of the Dicke Model with Superconducting Circuits

S. V. Remizov, Andrei A. Zhukov, W. V. Pogosov +1 more

We propose a concept of mixed analog–digital quantum simulation of the Dicke model with ensembles of superconducting qubits coupled to the single-mode microwave resonators. Using both single-qubit and twoqubit quantum logic gates, it should be possible to engineer different initial conditions for the ensemble of qubits. Since qubits can interact through the photon field of a common quantum resonator, it is attractive to examine the time evolution of this system depending on various characteristics of the initial state, including entanglement and symmetry. We here study theoretically the dynamics of such systems taking into account energy dissipation, pure decoherence as well as disorder in qubits excitation frequencies, which are unavoidable for macroscopic artificial quantum systems. We reveal unusual effects of these imperfections on the dynamics.

Quantum simulations of relativistic quantum physics in circuit QED

We present a scheme for simulating relativistic quantum physics in circuit quantum electrodynamics. By using three classical microwave drives, we show that a superconducting qubit strongly coupled to a resonator field mode can be used to simulate the dynamics of the Dirac equation and Klein paradox in all regimes. Using the same setup we also propose the implementation of the Foldy–Wouthuysen canonical transformation, after which the time derivative of the position operator becomes a constant of the motion.
