Abstract

We propose a platform for quantum many body simulations of dipolar spin models using current circuit QED technology. Our basic building blocks are 3D transmon qubits where we use the naturally occurring dipolar interactions to realize interacting spin systems. This opens the way toward the realization of a broad class of tunable spin models in both two- and one-dimensional geometries. We illustrate the potential offered by these systems in the context of dimerized Majumdar-Ghosh-type phases, archetypical examples of quantum magnetism, showing how such phases are robust against disorder and decoherence and could be observed within state-of-the-art experiments.

Spin Many-Body Phases in Standard- and Topological-Waveguide QED Simulators

Miguel Bello, Gloria Platero, Alejandro González-Tudela

Waveguide QED has emerged as a powerful analog quantum simulator due to the possibility of mediating versatile spin-spin interactions with tunable sign, range, and even dimerization.Yet, despite their potential, the many-body phases emerging from these systems have only been scarcely explored.Here, we characterize the many-body phases of a large class of spin models that can be obtained in such waveguide-QED simulators and uncover, importantly, the existence of symmetry-protected topological phases with large-period magnetic orderings with no analog in other state-of-art simulators.We explain that these phases emerge from the unique combination of long-range and dimerized interactions appearing in these platforms and propose several experimental observables to characterize them.Finally, we also develop an adiabatic protocol to prepare such states and analyze its performance with the main decoherence source of these systems.

Quantum simulation of DIII class topological superconductors using superconducting quantum circuits

Yong Hu, Zheng‐Yuan Xue, Zhongdong Wang +1 more

An exotic DIII model of one-dimensional p-wave spin-triplet superconductors with the $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ topological phase protected by the time-reversal symmetry is simulated by an array of inductively coupled transmon qubits with tunable nearest-neighbor couplings and scalability. The anti-commutation relation between opposite spin components in the DIII model is realized by a novel dispersive dynamic modulation approach, while previous schemes consider only spinless fermions. Our detailed analysis reveals that distinctive topological phenomena can be visualized with the state-of-the-art technology in this superconducting-circuit array.

Quantum phases in circuit QED with a superconducting qubit array

Yuanwei Zhang, Lixian Yu, J. -Q Liang +3 more

Circuit QED on a chip has become a powerful platform for simulating complex many-body physics. In this report, we realize a Dicke-Ising model with an antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor spin-spin interaction in circuit QED with a superconducting qubit array. We show that this system exhibits a competition between the collective spin-photon interaction and the antiferromagnetic nearest-neighbor spin-spin interaction, and then predict four quantum phases, including: a paramagnetic normal phase, an antiferromagnetic normal phase, a paramagnetic superradiant phase, and an antiferromagnetic superradiant phase. The antiferromagnetic normal phase and the antiferromagnetic superradiant phase are new phases in many-body quantum optics. In the antiferromagnetic superradiant phase, both the antiferromagnetic and superradiant orders can coexist, and thus the system possesses Z(z)₂ ⊗ Z₂ symmetry. Moreover, we find an unconventional photon signature in this phase. In future experiments, these predicted quantum phases could be distinguished by detecting both the mean-photon number and the magnetization.

Superconducting Qubits

Juan José García‐Ripoll

We introduce the notion of qubit as unit of quantum information, illustrating how this notion can be implemented in nonlinear superconducting circuits via the charge and current degrees of freedom. Within these two types of qubits, we discuss the charge qubit, the transmon, and the flux qubit, illustrating the nature of the states that implement the qubit subspace and how they can be controlled and measured. We discuss how qubits can interact with each other directly or through mediators, illustrating different limits of interaction, introducing the notion of dipolar electric and magnetic moments, and demonstrating the tunability of interactions by different means. The chapter closes with a brief study of qubit coherence along the history of this field, with an outlook to potential near-term improvements.

Digital quantum simulators in a scalable architecture of hybrid spin-photon qubits

Alessandro Chiesa, Paolo Maria Santini, Dario Gerace +3 more

Resolving quantum many-body problems represents one of the greatest challenges in physics and physical chemistry, due to the prohibitively large computational resources that would be required by using classical computers. A solution has been foreseen by directly simulating the time evolution through sequences of quantum gates applied to arrays of qubits, i.e. by implementing a digital quantum simulator. Superconducting circuits and resonators are emerging as an extremely promising platform for quantum computation architectures, but a digital quantum simulator proposal that is straightforwardly scalable, universal, and realizable with state-of-the-art technology is presently lacking. Here we propose a viable scheme to implement a universal quantum simulator with hybrid spin-photon qubits in an array of superconducting resonators, which is intrinsically scalable and allows for local control. As representative examples we consider the transverse-field Ising model, a spin-1 Hamiltonian, and the two-dimensional Hubbard model and we numerically simulate the scheme by including the main sources of decoherence.

Many-Body Interactions with Tunable-Coupling Transmon Qubits

Antonio Mezzacapo, Lucas Lamata, Stefan Filipp +1 more

The efficient implementation of many-body interactions in superconducting circuits allows for the realization of multipartite entanglement and topological codes, as well as the efficient simulation of highly correlated fermionic systems. We propose the engineering of fast multiqubit interactions with tunable transmon-resonator couplings. This dynamics is obtained by the modulation of magnetic fluxes threading superconducting quantum interference device loops embedded in the transmon devices. We consider the feasibility of the proposed implementation in a realistic scenario and discuss potential applications.
