Abstract

We report our research on disordered complex systems using cold gases and trapped ions, and address the possibility of using complex systems for quantum information processing. Two simple paradigmatic models of disordered complex systems are revisited here. The first one corresponds to a short range disordered Ising Hamiltonian (spin glasses), which can be implemented with a Bose-Fermi (Bose-Bose) mixture in a disordered optical lattice. The second model we address here is a long range disordered Hamiltonian, characteristic of neural networks (Hopfield model), which can be implemented in a chain of trapped ions with appropriately designed interactions.

Quantum-information processing in disordered and complex quantum systems

Aditi Sen, Ujjwal Sen, V. Ahufinger +3 more

We study quantum information processing in complex disordered many body systems that can be implemented by using lattices of ultracold atomic gases and trapped ions. We demonstrate, first in the short range case, the generation of entanglement and the local realization of quantum gates in a disordered magnetic model describing a quantum spin glass. We show that in this case it is possible to achieve fidelities of quantum gates higher than in the classical case. Complex systems with long range interactions, such as ions chains or dipolar atomic gases, can be used to model neural network Hamiltonians. For such systems, where both long range interactions and disorder appear, it is possible to generate long range bipartite entanglement. We provide an efficient analytical method to calculate the time evolution of a given initial state, which in turn allows us to calculate its quantum correlations.

Cold Atomic Gases in Optical Lattices with Disorder

T. Schulte, S. Drenkelforth, J. Kruse +10 more

Cold atomic gases placed in optical lattices enable studies of simple condensed matter theory models with parameters that may be tuned relatively easily.When the optical potential is randomized (e.g. using laser speckle to create a random intensity distribution) one may be able to observe Anderson localization of matter waves for non-interacting bosons, the so-called Bose glass in the presence of interactions, as well as the Fermi glass or quantum spin glass for mixtures of fermions and bosons.

Strongly correlated Fermi-Bose mixtures in disordered optical lattices

Abstract. We investigate theoretically the low-temperature physics of ultracold Fermi-Bose mixtures in optical lattices. We show that composite Fermions form under specific conditions in the srongly correlated regime. The composite picture is used to derive an effective Hamiltonian whose parameters can be controlled. We finally investigate the quantum phase diagram of the composites and show that it corresponds to the formation of Fermi glasses, spin glasses, and quantum percolation regimes.

Quantum simulations with cold trapped ions

Michael Johanning, A. F. Varón, Christof Wunderlich

The control of internal and motional quantum degrees of freedom of laser-cooled trapped ions has been subject to intense theoretical and experimental research for about three decades. In the realm of quantum information science, the ability to deterministically prepare and measure quantum states of trapped ions is unprecedented. This expertise may be employed to investigate physical models conceived to describe systems that are not directly accessible for experimental investigations. Here, we give an overview of current theoretical proposals and experiments for such quantum simulations with trapped ions. This includes various spin models (e.g. the quantum transverse Ising model or a neural network), the Bose–Hubbard Hamiltonian, the Frenkel–Kontorova model, and quantum fields and relativistic effects.

Disordered ultracold atomic gases in optical lattices: A case study of Fermi-Bose mixtures

V. Ahufinger, Laurent Sanchez-Palencia, Adrian Kantian +2 more

We present a review of properties of ultracold atomic Fermi-Bose mixtures in inhomogeneous and random optical lattices. In the strong interacting limit and at very low temperatures, fermions form, together with bosons or bosonic holes, composite fermions. Composite fermions behave as a spinless interacting Fermi gas, and in the presence of local disorder they interact via random couplings and feel effective random local potential. This opens a wide variety of possibilities of realizing various kinds of ultracold quantum disordered systems. In this paper we review these possibilities, discuss the accessible quantum disordered phases, and methods for their detection. The discussed quantum phases include Fermi glasses, quantum spin glasses, ``dirty'' superfluids, disordered metallic phases, and phases involving quantum percolation.
