Coherent imaging spectroscopy of a quantum many-body spin system

Crystal Senko, J. Smith, Philip Richerme +3 more

Quantum simulators, in which well-controlled quantum systems are used to reproduce the dynamics of less understood ones, have the potential to explore physics inaccessible to modeling with classical computers. However, checking the results of such simulations also becomes classically intractable as system sizes increase. Here, we introduce and implement a coherent imaging spectroscopic technique, akin to magnetic resonance imaging, to validate a quantum simulation. We use this method to determine the energy levels and interaction strengths of a fully connected quantum many-body system. Additionally, we directly measure the critical energy gap near a quantum phase transition. We expect this general technique to become a verification tool for quantum simulators once experiments advance beyond proof-of-principle demonstrations and exceed the resources of conventional computers.

Electronic Correlation Mapping: From Finite to Extended Systems

Jamal Berakdar

An up-to-date selection of applications of correlation spectroscopy, in particular as far as the mapping of properties of correlated many-body systems is concerned. The book starts with a qualitative analysis of the outcome of the two-particle correlation spectroscopy of localized and delocalized electronic systems as they occur in atoms and solids. The second chapter addresses how spin-dependent interactions can be imaged by means of correlation spectroscopy, both in spin-polarized and extended systems. A further chapter discusses possible pathways for the production of interacting two-partic

Simulating Microwave-Controlled Spin Imaging with Free-Space Electrons

Santiago Beltrán-Romero, Stefan Löffler, Dennis Rätzel +1 more

Coherent spin resonance techniques, such as nuclear and electron spin resonance spectroscopy, have revolutionized non-invasive imaging by providing spectrally resolved information about spin dynamics. Motivated by the recent emergence of electron microscopy methods capable of sensing microwave-excitations, we establish a theoretical framework for Spin Resonance Spectroscopy (SRS) in transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This technique combines microwave pump fields with focused electron probe beams to enable state-selective spin imaging at the atomic scale. Using scattering theory, we model the interaction between free-space electrons and electron spin systems, capturing both elastic and inelastic processes. The strongest effect of the spin system on the free electron is a magnetic phase shift. Our simulations demonstrate that phase shifts from individual electron spins are detectable in both image mode and diffraction mode. In principle, differential measurements under microwave control allow the extraction of local resonance frequencies that are influenced by the surrounding spin environment. By evaluating the Classical Fisher Information (CFI), we identify imaging conditions that maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), showing how defocus and beam width affect the measurement sensitivity. These findings establish a foundation for integrating SRS with high-resolution TEM, bridging spin spectroscopy and atomic-scale imaging, and enabling new capabilities in quantum spin research and nanoscale materials characterization.
