Abstract

Fermion-exciton condensates (FECs)---computationally and theoretically predicted states that simultaneously exhibit the character of superconducting states and exciton condensates---are novel quantum states whose properties may involve a hybridization of superconductivity and the dissipationless flow of energy. Here, we exploit prior investigations of superconducting states and exciton condensates on quantum devices to identify a tuneable quantum state preparation entangling the wave functions of the individual condensate states. Utilizing this state preparation, we prepare a variety of FEC states on quantum computers---realizing strongly correlated FEC states on current, noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices---and verify the presence of the dual condensate via postmeasurement analysis. This confirmation of the previously predicted condensate state on quantum devices as well as the form of its wave function motivates further theoretical and experimental exploration of the properties, applications, and stability of FECs.

Simultaneous fermion and exciton condensations from a model Hamiltonian

LeeAnn M. Sager-Smith, David A. Mazziotti

Fermion-exciton condensation in which both fermion-pair (i.e., superconductivity) and exciton condensations occur simultaneously in a single coherent quantum state has recently been conjectured to exist. Here, we capture the fermion-exciton condensation through a model Hamiltonian that can recreate the physics of this new class of highly correlated condensation phenomena. We demonstrate that the Hamiltonian generates the large-eigenvalue signatures of fermion-pair and exciton condensations for a series of states with increasing particle numbers. The results confirm that the dual-condensate wave function arises from the entanglement of fermion-pair and exciton wave functions, which we previously predicted in the thermodynamic limit. This model Hamiltonian---generalizing well-known model Hamiltonians for either superconductivity or exciton condensation---can explore a wide variety of condensation behavior. It provides significant insights into the required forces for generating a fermion-exciton condensate, which will likely be invaluable for realizing such condensations in realistic materials with applications from superconductors to excitonic materials.

Quantum phase transitions in a model Hamiltonian exhibiting entangled simultaneous fermion-pair and exciton condensations

Samuel Warren, LeeAnn M. Sager-Smith, David A. Mazziotti

Quantum states of a novel Bose-Einstein condensate, in which both fermion-pair and exciton condensations are simultaneously present, have recently been realized theoretically in a model Hamiltonian system. Here we identify quantum phase transitions in that model between fermion-pair and exciton condensations based on a geometric analysis of the convex set of ground-state two-particle reduced density matrices (2-RDMs). The 2-RDM set provides a finite representation of the infinite parameter space of Hamiltonians that readily reveals a fermion-pair condensate phase and two distinct exciton condensate phases, as well as the emergence of first- and second-order phase transitions as the particle number of the system is increased. The set, furthermore, shows that the fermion-exciton condensate (FEC) lies along the second-order phase transition between the exciton and fermion-pair condensate phases. The detailed information about the exciton and fermion-pair phases, the forces behind these phases, as well as their associated transitions provides additional insight into the formation of the FEC condensate, which we anticipate will prove useful in its experimental realization.

Potential coexistence of exciton and fermion-pair condensations

LeeAnn M. Sager-Smith, Shiva Safaei, David A. Mazziotti

An extensive theoretical and experimental investigation has been conducted on fermion-pair condensation and exciton condensation as distinct classes of Bose-Einstein-like condensation. In this Rapid Communication, the existence of a fermion-exciton condensate---a single quantum state in which the characters of both fermion-pair and exciton condensates coexist---is established computationally in the low-particle-number ($N$) limit and theoretically in the large-$N$ thermodynamic limit. The trade-off between the fermion-pair and excitonic character of the fermion-exciton condensate is shown to be elliptic in nature. The possibility that the properties of fermion-exciton condensates could be a hybrid of the properties of fermion-pair condensates and exciton condensates is discussed, and future experimental and computational exploration of this class of condensate, which may potentially be realizable in a bilayer of superconductors, is anticipated.

Preparation of an exciton condensate of photons on a 53-qubit quantum computer

LeeAnn M. Sager-Smith, Scott E. Smart, David A. Mazziotti

Quantum computation promises an exponential speedup of certain classes of classical calculations through the preparation and manipulation of entangled quantum states.So far, most molecular simulations on quantum computers, however, have been limited to small numbers of particles.Here we prepare a highly entangled state on a 53-qubit IBM quantum computer, representing 53 particles, which reveals the formation of an exciton condensate of photon particles and holes.While the experimental realization of ground state exciton condensates remained elusive for more than 50 years, such condensates were recently achieved for electron-hole pairs in graphene bilayers and metal chalcogenides.Our creation of ground state photon condensates has the potential to further the exploration of exciton condensates, and this novel preparation may play a role in realizing efficient room-temperature energy transport.

Preparation of Strongly Correlated Superconducting States on a Quantum Computer with Hints of Quantum Advantage

LeeAnn M. Sager-Smith, David A. Mazziotti

One of the most correlated quantum phenomena achievable is superconductivity. In superconductivity pairs of electrons condense, in a manner analogous to Bose-Einstein condensation, into the same quantum state with their subsequent entanglement permitting frictionless conductivity. Quantum computers have the potential to predict complex, entangled quantum states at non-exponential cost, unlike their classical counterparts, with possible applications to hard problems from physics to economics. Here, using pairs of qubits to represent the electron pairs, we create superconductivity on a transmon-qubit quantum computer. A series of maximally entangled superconducting states with different numbers of electron pairs is prepared, and then the occupation of the superconducting state is measured by tomography. Each occupation on the order of the number of electrons $O(N)$ confirms the formation of a maximally entangled superconducting state. Moreover, the large eigenvalue provides experimental validation of C. N. Yang's derivation of large occupation being associated with off-diagonal long-range order. The work provides a critically important step in predicting strongly entangled quantum physics as well as mathematically related non-local phenomena in the pure and social sciences on quantum computers.

Emergent Topological Order in Interacting Bose-Fermi Mixtures.

Revista, Zen, PHYSICS, 10

The exploration of novel quantum states of matter remains a central theme in condensed matter physics. Among these, topological order stands out for its robust properties against local perturbations and its potential applications in quantum information processing. While considerable progress has been made in understanding topological order in purely bosonic or fermionic systems, the interplay between different quantum statistics in interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures offers a rich platform for discovering new forms of topological order. This paper investigates the theoretical conditions and characteristic signatures for the emergence of topological order in these hybrid quantum systems. We propose that tunable interspecies interactions, combined with appropriate lattice geometries or synthetic gauge fields, can drive Bose-Fermi mixtures into exotic phases exhibiting non-trivial topological properties. Specifically, we explore scenarios where bosonic particles mediate effective interactions between fermions, or where bosonic condensation leads to a modification of the fermionic band structure, thereby inducing topological phases. Our analysis focuses on identifying key experimental observables, such as fractionalized excitations, robust edge modes, and entanglement properties, which can serve as hallmarks of emergent topological order. The theoretical framework incorporates mean-field approaches, variational methods, and numerical simulations to characterize the phase diagram of interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures, providing a pathway for experimental realization and verification of these fascinating quantum states.
