Vortex-Meissner phase transition induced by a two-tone-drive-engineered artificial gauge potential in the fermionic ladder constructed by superconducting qubit circuits

Yan-Jun Zhao, Xun‐Wei Xu, Hui Wang +2 more

The authors are proposing a way to engineer artificial gauge fields in systems of superconducting qubits that is applicable, in principle, to circuits with any nonzero anharmonicity, thereby allowing for the simulation of fermionic systems. As an application, they study the transition between vortex and Meissner phases in a two-leg ladder system induced by varying the interleg coupling strength and effective magnetic flux.

Quantum phase transitions of a two-leg bosonic ladder in an artificial gauge field

R. Citro, S. De Palo, M. Di Dio +1 more

We consider a two leg bosonic ladder in a $U(1)$ gauge field with both interleg hopping and interleg repulsion. As a function of the flux, the interleg interaction converts the commensurate-incommensurate transition from the Meissner to a Vortex phase, into an Ising-type of transition towards a density wave phase. A disorder point is also found after which the correlation functions develop a damped sinusoid behavior signaling a melting of the vortex phase. We discuss the differences on the phase diagram for attractive and repulsive interleg interaction. In particular, we show how repulsion favors the Meissner phase at low flux and a phase with a second incommensuration in the correlation functions for intermediate flux, leading to a richer phase diagram than in the case of interleg attraction. The effect of the temperature on the chiral current is also discussed.

PHASE TRANSITION OF BOSONS DRIVEN BY A STAGGERED GAUGE FIELD IN AN OPTICAL LATTICE

Min-Chul Cha

We have studied the ground state properties of hard-core bosons in a two-leg optical ladder in the presence of uniform and staggered frustrations due to an artificial gauge field. By calculating the ground state via the Lanczos method, we find first-order phase transitions tuned by the staggered gauge field between the Meissner and the vortex states. The momentum distributions show that the Meissner state has edge and staggered currents, while the vortex states have vortex-solid or vortex-glass phases in the presence of a staggered field.
