abstract

We use a Rydberg quantum simulator to demonstrate a new form of spectroscopy, called quench spectroscopy, which probes the low-energy excitations of a many-body system. We illustrate the method on a two-dimensional simulation of the spin-1/2 dipolar XY model. Through microscopic measurements of the spatial spin correlation dynamics following a quench, we extract the dispersion relation of the elementary excitations for both ferro- and anti-ferromagnetic couplings. We observe qualitatively different behaviors between the two cases that result from the long-range nature of the interactions, and the frustration inherent in the antiferromagnet. In particular, the ferromagnet exhibits elementary excitations behaving as linear spin waves. In the anti-ferromagnet, spin waves appear to decay, suggesting the presence of strong nonlinearities. Our demonstration highlights the importance of power-law interactions on the excitation spectrum of a many-body system.

Improved quasiparticle nuclear Hamiltonians for quantum computing

nucl-th · 2026-04-13 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Brillouin-Wigner perturbation theory plus Hartree-Fock mean-field approximation upgrades quasiparticle nuclear Hamiltonians, yielding <0.2% and ~2% ground-state energy errors versus exact shell-model results in the sd shell while preserving qubit efficiency.
