The interaction of many-body quantum system is a critical problem to be solved in the field of quantum information science. Rydberg atoms have large dipole moment, enabling them to interact with others in a long range, thereby offering us a powerful tool for studying many-body quantum physics. Meanwhile, atoms in the ground state are stable, which makes it easy to manipulate them. Therefore, Rydberg-atom many-body system is an ideal platform for studying the interaction of many-body quantum system. Studies of Rydberg-atom many-body system may contribute to understanding the properties of many-body system and putting the interaction of many-body quantum system into practical applications. In this review, we introduce some studies of properties of interaction of Rydberg-atom many-body system, including the Rydberg excitation blockade, the variation of Rabi frequencies of the many-body system and special spatial distribution of Rydberg atoms in a many-body system. Firstly, the Rydberg excitation blockade, the most important property in the Rydberg-atom many-body system, indicates that atoms’ excitation will be suppressed in a certain range around one Rydberg excitation because the interaction between the Rydberg excitation and atoms leads the energy level to shift so that atoms cannot be excited by the same pulse. Secondly, there is a collective Rabi frequency in the system, which is proportional to the square of the number of atoms in the suppressed area. And additionally, because of the Rydberg blockade effect, Rydberg excitations in the ensemble cannot be at casual positions but a regular distribution is formed. Besides the studies of properties, several researches on the applications of interaction of Rydberg-atom many-body system are introduced, including single-photon source, quantum storage, single-atom imaging, quantum simulation, etc. These applications contribute to the development of quantum community and quantum computing, which may bring us a quantum-technology time. Finally, we discuss the future development of Rydberg-atom many-body system and its further applications. Further development includes the development of many-body system with a larger number of atoms, the development of many-body system of atoms with more than one electron, and some other specific subjects based on many-system, such as Rydberg dimer and topological phase. Also some promising applications such as in studying optimization problem by quantum annealing, may become true.

The entangled state of quantum human body was studied surrounding the microcosmic field of digital human body. The main contents are the state of quantum human body and the entangled state of quantum human body. The former included the density functor, density matrix of quantum human body and the density matrix of mixed state of human body system. The last one included the self spinning entangled state of two particles in which the the quantum human body self spinning was 1/2 and Bell base, the photon polarization state and double photon entangled state of human body system, the fixed field feature and latent variable of human body system, the application of it in human body system information, the measurement of quantum human body state and Winger function. It provided theoretical and experimental gist for the microcosmic study of digital human body.

There has been a surge of interest in studying truly nonequilibrium quantum many-body phenomena, motivated both by theoretical advances such as in the understanding of many-body-localization (MBL), and by experimental advances in controlling synthetic quantum systems that serve as rich playgrounds to probe these phenomena. In this thesis, we show that looking at the physical structure of quantum systems, such as the locality of Hamiltonians and the entanglement of quantum states -- concepts with a quantum informational flavor to them -- is a useful lens with which to explore nonequilibrium many-body physics. We use these ideas to study localization -- the breakdown of ergodicity in certain classes of many-body systems, and also the timescales of thermalization in periodically driven many-body systems. We also explain the recent observations in a dipolar system of the discrete time crystal phase, an exemplary nonequilibrium phase of matter, and further consider the dynamics of entanglement in many-body systems.
