abstract
Analog quantum simulators offer a powerful microscopic probe of quantum many-body systems, yet have largely been benchmarked against model Hamiltonians rather than real materials. Here, we use a 256-qubit Rydberg simulator to implement the effective Hamiltonian of the frustrated triangular-lattice magnet TmMgGaO$_4$. Simulated magnetization curves agree quantitatively with susceptibility measurements on single crystals, and both platforms consistently determine the antiferromagnetic phase transition. Snapshot-resolved analysis confirms that quantum fluctuations, rather than disorder, govern the intermediate paramagnetic regime. Having established this correspondence, we access non-equilibrium dynamics following a sudden quench, a regime at picosecond material timescales where entanglement growth places the problem beyond classical reach. The simulator reveals thermalization of local observables, demonstrating that analog quantum simulation can reproduce and extend the physics of a real material.

A 50-qubit quantum processor produces dynamical structure factors for KCuF3 that quantitatively match neutron-scattering measurements of its spinon spectrum.
Literary texts are turned into graphs for neutral-atom quantum processors, with a new rigidity metric distinguishing structural uniqueness and a QOuLiPo corpus of engineered texts created to match hardware-native graphs.
A dual-species Rydberg atom array on a Kagome lattice can be driven into a quantum spin liquid state with topological order using a controlled sweep-quench-sweep protocol.
Random global pulses in Rydberg chains generate states with Haar-like statistics at long times for weak interactions, while optimal control prepares generic symmetric states with infidelities from 10^{-5} to 3e-2 for 9 spins, worsening with entanglement entropy.
