This work reports the experimental demonstration of a digital quantum simulation of a lattice gauge theory, by realizing (1 + 1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics (the Schwinger model) on a few-qubit trapped-ion quantum computer and explores the Schwinger mechanism of particle–antiparticle generation by monitoring the mass production and the vacuum persistence amplitude.

The experimental realization of fermionic chiral edge states in a ribbon geometry with an ultracold gas of neutral fermions subjected to an artificial gauge field opens the door for edge state interferometry and the study of non-Abelian anyons in atomic systems.

It is shown how lattice gauge theories can display many-body localization dynamics in the absence of disorder, and how memory effects and slow, double-logarithmic entanglement growth are present in a broad regime of parameters-in particular, for sufficiently large interactions.

We present evidence for Majorana edge states in a number conserving theory describing a system of spinless fermions on two wires that are coupled by pair hopping. Our analysis is based on a…
Atomic quantum simulation of dynamical gauge fields coupled to fermionic matter: from string breaking to evolution after a quench.

Using a Fermi-Bose mixture of ultracold atoms in an optical lattice, a quantum simulator is constructed for a U(1) gauge theory coupled to fermionic matter to investigate string breaking as well as the real-time evolution after a quench in gauge theories, which are inaccessible to classical simulation methods.

Quantum spin-ice represents a paradigmatic example of how the physics of frustrated magnets is related to gauge theories. In the present work, we address the problem of approximately realizing…
Pinning quantum phase transition for a Luttinger liquid of strongly interacting bosons
The sine–Gordon quantum phase transition from a superfluid Luttinger liquid to a Mott insulator—in a one-dimensional quantum gas of bosonic caesium atoms with tunable interactions is observed, and measurements in the strongly interacting regime agree well with a quantum field description based on the exactly solvable sine-Gordon model.
