Abstract

We propose a method to engineer an arbitrary effective spin exchange Hamiltonian in arrays of Rydberg atoms and verify its experimental viability through simulations of induced anti-symmetric exchange interaction between 3 atoms.

Quantum simulation of generic spin-exchange models in Floquet-engineered Rydberg-atom arrays

Naveen Nishad, Anna Keselman, Thierry Lahaye +2 more

Although quantum simulation can give insight into elusive or intractable physical phenomena, many quantum simulators are unavoidably limited in the models they mimic. Such is also the case for atom arrays interacting via Rydberg states, a platform potentially capable of simulating any kind of spin exchange model, albeit with currently unattainable experimental capabilities. Here, we propose a route towards simulating generic spin-exchange Hamiltonians in atom arrays, using Floquet engineering with both global and local control. To demonstrate the versatility and applicability of our approach, we numerically investigate the generation of several spin-exchange models which have yet to be realized in atom arrays, using only previously demonstrated experimental capabilities. Our proposed scheme can be readily explored in many existing setups, providing a path to investigate a large class of exotic quantum spin models.

Three-body interactions in Rydberg lattices

Rhine Samajdar, Mikhail D. Lukin, Valentin Walther

Programmable arrays of neutral Rydberg atoms are one of the leading platforms today for scalable quantum simulation and computation. In these systems, the dipole-dipole interactions between the individual atoms, or qubits, typically result in binary -- i.e., two-body -- couplings. In this work, we develop an experimentally accessible scheme for engineering three-body interactions in Rydberg lattices. Such strong three-body couplings can fundamentally modify the underlying physics compared to systems with only two-body interactions: we demonstrate this, in particular, by systematically investigating the effective many-body Hamiltonian and its emergent quantum phases. This capability paves the way for the quantum simulation of a broader class of correlated models of condensed matter and high-energy physics.

Floquet Engineering of Interactions and Entanglement in Periodically Driven Rydberg Chains

Nazlı Uğur Köylüoğlu, Nishad Maskara, Johannes Feldmeier +1 more

Neutral atom arrays driven into Rydberg states constitute a promising approach for realizing programmable quantum systems. Enabled by strong interactions associated with Rydberg blockade, they allow for simulation of complex spin models and quantum dynamics. We introduce a new Floquet engineering technique for systems in the blockade regime that provides control over novel forms of interactions and entanglement dynamics in such systems. Our approach is based on time-dependent control of Rydberg laser detuning and leverages perturbations around periodic many-body trajectories as resources for operator spreading. These time-evolved operators are utilized as a basis for engineering interactions in the effective Hamiltonian describing the stroboscopic evolution. As an example, we show how our method can be used to engineer strong spin exchange, consistent with the blockade, in a one-dimensional chain, enabling the exploration of gapless Luttinger liquid phases. In addition, we demonstrate that combining gapless excitations with Rydberg blockade can lead to dynamic generation of large-scale multipartite entanglement. Experimental feasibility and possible generalizations are discussed.
