Abstract

Harnessing integrability at arbitrary interaction strength, we build long-lived and spatially localized soliton-like excitations in the 1D Bose gas with contact repulsion (Lieb-Liniger model). We show how these density profiles, built from selective superpositions of multi-hole eigenstates, display long lifetimes tunable through parameters like dispersion width and number of holes. We further illustrate a scaling protocol that in principle enables unbounded increase in lifetimes in the thermodynamic limit. Our results showcase classical-like excitations originating from unitary quantum dynamics, away from the semi-classical regime, and in regions where interactions cannot be treated perturbatively.

Excitation spectra and rank tomography of finite MPS tangent spaces

We formulate the matrix product state (MPS) tangent-space excitation construction for finite, non-uniform systems with open boundary conditions, using the smooth full-rank stratum of the MPS variety as the variational manifold. The resulting linear tangent ansatz yields a projected-Hamiltonian eigenproblem for approximating excitation spectra. We further introduce a rank tomography that characterizes the particle-sector expressivity of the MPS tangent space. For number-conserving systems, we resolve the Schmidt ranks of reference states by particle number and derive an explicit relation between the resulting rank profile and the dimensions of the tangent-space sectors. This allows sector completeness and parametric deficiency to be determined directly from the reference state, without explicitly constructing a tangent basis, and provides a direct diagnostic of the sectorwise expressivity of the MPS excitation ansatz. We benchmark the finite-system construction on Bose--Hubbard chains against exact diagonalization, finding accurate low-lying excitation branches while identifying sector-dependent limitations of the linear tangent ansatz.

Multi-scale spectral statistics of intermediate quantum chaos in ultracold erbium collisions

Characterizing intermediate quantum chaos in systems with mixed phase spaces requires probing spectral correlations across multiple scales. Here, we present a multi-scale statistical analysis of the resonance spectra of ultracold 166Er and 168Er atoms using higher-order spacing ratios, spacing increments, and the accumulated power spectral density of decimated level sequences. Our analysis reveals that while the spectra exhibit clear level repulsion, they are consistently better described by semi-Poisson than by standard Wigner-Dyson ensembles, with this intermediate character persisting across higher-order correlations. The accumulated power spectrum reveals an intermediate 1/f^alpha regime, with alpha approximately 1.5 at full spectral resolution and a tendency toward the integrable random-walk limit alpha = 2 at intermediate decimation scales, indicating a scale-dependent loss of spectral rigidity. Furthermore, the spacing-increment distributions independently reveal statistics intermediate between Laplace and Gaussian limits. Together, these complementary diagnostics show that the semi-Poisson character reflects persistent non-Wigner-Dyson correlations beyond the nearest-neighbor scale, providing a consistent picture of intermediate quantum chaos and a possible connection to hierarchical trapping in the underlying collision dynamics.

Interaction-enhanced photon blockade and Bell-state protection in microwave-shielded polar molecules

Microwave shielding has recently emerged as a powerful tool for engineering interactions in ultracold polar molecules, yet its potential for controlling cavity quantum electrodynamics remains largely unexplored. Here, we investigate a molecular cavity quantum electrodynamics platform in which two microwave-shielded polar molecules are coupled to a single optical cavity mode and demonstrate that shielding-induced interactions provide a unified mechanism for both photon blockade and Bell-state protection. The anisotropic interaction reshapes the few-excitation spectrum by enhancing its anharmonicity, thereby suppressing multiphoton transitions and improving the single-photon purity by more than three orders of magnitude. The enhanced blockade is accompanied by the emergence of negative longitudinal spin correlations, revealing the interaction-induced suppression of simultaneous molecular excitations. We further show that the photon statistics are highly sensitive to the relative molecular configuration, with positional variations on the scale of the relative zero-point fluctuation substantially modifying the blockade performance. Beyond few-photon nonlinear optics, the same interaction protects an initially prepared molecular Bell state by dispersively decoupling molecular excitations from the lossy cavity mode, thereby suppressing cavity-mediated dissipation and slowing the fidelity decay. Our results establish microwave-shielded interactions as a unified interaction resource for engineering few-photon nonlinearities and protecting quantum states in molecular cavity-QED systems.
