Supersensitive rotation sensor from superintegrability

Detection based on quantum principles such as entanglement has the capacity to achieve finessed levels of sensitivity, bringing transformative impacts to applications. In this study, we propose a rotation sensor using ultra-cold dipolar atoms trapped in a four-well configuration. The design, based on a simple population imbalance measurement to quantify rotation, profits from the property of superintegrability. The implementation of the measurement protocol achieves rotation-detection sensitivity beyond the Heisenberg limit. Our results spotlight superintegrability opportunities for advancing the field of quantum sensing.

Bethe ansatz solution to integrable bosonic cube networks

We study two extended Bose-Hubbard-type Hamiltonians representing bosonic networks restricted to the graph of a cube. For both Hamiltonians, we demonstrate that Bethe ansatz methods of solution can be employed after applying a canonical transformation of operators. We provide the resulting Bethe ansatz equations, and corresponding formulae for states and energies of both Hamiltonians.

Superintegrable bosonic star networks

We introduce a class of bosonic star networks involving a central site interacting with the surrounding environment sites. These networks are shown to be superintegrable. We present two forms of Bethe Ansatz solution providing expressions for the energy eigenvalues. A brief discussion is included on the potential applications.

Bethe Ansatz solution for a model of global-range interacting bosons on the square lattice

Quantum systems on a one-dimensional lattice are ubiquitous in the study of models exactly-solved by Bethe Ansatz techniques. Here it is shown that including global-range interaction opens scope for Bethe Ansatz solutions that are not constrained to one-dimensional quantum systems. A bosonic model on a square lattice is defined, and the exact Bethe Ansatz solution is provided for open, cylindrical, and toroidal boundary conditions. Generalising the result for an integrable defect leads to a Bethe Ansatz solution that is not expressible in an exact, closed-form manner.

Explicit conserved operators for a class of integrable bosonic networks from the classical Yang-Baxter equation

Let $B$ denote the weighted adjacency matrix of a balanced, symmetric, bipartite graph. We define a class of bosonic networks given by Hamiltonians whose hopping terms are determined by $B$. We show that each quantum Hamiltonian is Yang-Baxter integrable, admitting a set of mutually commuting operators derived through a solution of the classical Yang-Baxter equation. We discuss some applications and consequences of this result.

Integrable 3-Site, Tilted, Extended Bose-Hubbard Model with Nearest-Neighbour Interactions

Extended Bose-Hubbard models have been employed in the study of cold-atom systems with dipolar interactions. It is shown that, for a certain choice of the coupling parameters, there exists an integrable extended 3-site Bose-Hubbard model with nearest-neighbour interactions. A Bethe ansatz procedure is developed to obtain expressions for the energy spectrum and eigenstates.

Dark states in an integrable XY central spin model

Eigenstates of central spin models in which the central spin is unentangled with the environment are known as dark states. They have recently been observed in a class of integrable XX models. Here we find that dark states are present in XY models, but only for particular configurations of the central spin magnetic field. We show this via an explicit construction of the Bethe states.

Controlling entanglement in a triple-well system of dipolar atoms

We study the dynamics of entanglement and atomic populations of ultracold dipolar bosons in an aligned three-well potential described by an extended Bose-Hubbard model. We focus on a sufficiently strong interacting regime where the couplings are tuned to obtain an integrable system, in which the time evolution exhibits a resonant behavior that can be exactly predicted. Within this framework, we propose a protocol that includes an integrability breaking step by tilting the edge wells for a short time through an external field, allowing the production of quantum states with a controllable degree of entanglement. We analyze this protocol for different initial states and show the formation of highly entangled states as well as NOON-like states. These results offer valuable insights into how entanglement can be controlled in ultracold atom systems that may be useful for the proposals of new quantum devices.

The Yang-Baxter paradox

Consider the statement "Every Yang-Baxter integrable system is defined to be exactly-solvable". To formalise this statement, definitions and axioms are introduced. Then, using a specific Yang-Baxter integrable bosonic system, it is shown that a paradox emerges. A generalisation for completely integrable bosonic systems is also developed.

Atomtronic protocol designs for NOON states

The ability to reliably prepare non-classical states will play a major role in the realization of quantum technology. NOON states, belonging to the class of Schroedinger cat states, have emerged as a leading candidate for several applications. Starting from a model of dipolar bosons confined to a closed circuit of four sites, we show how to generate NOON states. This is achieved by designing protocols to transform initial Fock states to NOON states through use of time evolution, application of an external field, and local projective measurements. By variation of the external field strength, we demonstrate how the system can be controlled to encode a phase into a NOON state. We also discuss the physical feasibility, via an optical lattice setup. Our proposal illuminates the benefits of quantum integrable systems in the design of atomtronic protocols.

Separable and entangled states in the high-spin XX central spin model

It is shown in a recent preprint [arXiv:2001.10008] that the central spin model with XX-type qubit-bath coupling is integrable for a central spin $s_0=1/2$. Two types of eigenstates, separable states (dark states) and entangled states (bright states) between the central spin and the bath spins, are manifested. In this work, we show by using an operator product state approach that the XX central spin model with central spin $s_0>1/2$ and inhomogeneous coupling is partially solvable. That is, a subset of the eigenstates are obtained by the operator product state ansatz. These are the separable states and those entangled states in the single-spin-excitation subspace with respect to the fully polarized reference state. Due to the high degeneracy of the separable states, the resulting Bethe ansatz equations are found to be non-unique. In the case of $s_0=1/2$ we show that all the separable and entangled states can be written in terms of the operator product states, recovering the results in [arXiv:2001.10008]. Moreover, we also apply our method to the case of homogeneous coupling and derive the corresponding Bethe ansatz equations.

Ground-state energy of a Richardson-Gaudin integrable BCS model

We investigate the ground-state energy of a Richardson-Gaudin integrable BCS model, generalizing the closed and open p+ip models. The Hamiltonian supports a family of mutually commuting conserved operators satisfying quadratic relations. From the eigenvalues of the conserved operators we derive, in the continuum limit, an integral equation for which a solution corresponding to the ground state is established. The energy expression from this solution agrees with the BCS mean-field result.

Entangled states of dipolar bosons generated in a triple-well potential

We study the generation of entangled states using a device constructed from dipolar bosons confined to a triple-well potential. Dipolar bosons possess controllable, long-range interactions. This property permits specific choices to be made for the coupling parameters, such that the system is integrable. Integrability assists in the analysis of the system via an effective Hamiltonian constructed through a conserved operator. Through computations of fidelity we establish that this approach, to study the time-evolution of the entanglement for a class of non-entangled initial states, yields accurate approximations given by analytic formulae.

Control of tunneling in an atomtronic switching device

The precise control of quantum systems will play a major role in the realization of atomtronic devices. As in the case of electronic systems, a desirable property is the ability to implement switching. Here we show how to implement switching in a model of dipolar bosons confined to three coupled wells. The model describes interactions between bosons, tunneling of bosons between adjacent wells, and the effect of an external field. We conduct a study of the quantum dynamics of the system to probe the conditions under which switching behavior can occur. The analysis considers both integrable and non-integrable regimes within the model. Through variation of the external field, we demonstrate how the system can be controlled between various switched-on and switched-off configurations.

Ground-state energies of the open and closed $p+ip$-pairing models from the Bethe Ansatz

Using the exact Bethe Ansatz solution, we investigate methods for calculating the ground-state energy for the $p + ip$-pairing Hamiltonian. We first consider the Hamiltonian isolated from its environment (closed model) through two forms of Bethe Ansatz solutions, which generally have complex-valued Bethe roots. A continuum limit approximation, leading to an integral equation, is applied to compute the ground-state energy. We discuss the evolution of the root distribution curve with respect to a range of parameters, and the limitations of this method. We then consider an alternative approach that transforms the Bethe Ansatz equations to an equivalent form, but in terms of the real-valued conserved operator eigenvalues. An integral equation is established for the transformed solution. This equation is shown to admit an exact solution associated with the ground state. Next we discuss results for a recently derived Bethe Ansatz solution of the open model. With the aforementioned alternative approach based on real-valued roots, combined with mean-field analysis, we are able to establish an integral equation with an exact solution that corresponds to the ground-state for this case.

Energy-level crossings and number-parity effects in a bosonic tunneling model

An exactly solved bosonic tunneling model is studied along a line of the coupling parameter space, which includes a quantum phase boundary line. The entire energy spectrum is computed analytically, and found to exhibit multiple energy level crossings in a region of the coupling parameter space. Several key properties of the model are discussed, which exhibit a clear dependence on whether the particle number is even or odd.

Exact ground-state correlation functions of an atomic-molecular boson conversion model

We study the ground-state properties of an atomic-molecular boson conversion model through an exact Bethe Ansatz solution. For a certain range of parameter choices, we prove that the ground-state Bethe roots lie on the positive real-axis. We then use a continuum limit approach to obtain a singular integral equation characterising the distribution of these Bethe roots. Solving this equation leads to an analytic expression for the ground-state energy. The form of the expression is consistent with the existence of a line of quantum phase transitions, which has been identified in earlier studies. This line demarcates a molecular phase from a mixed phase. Certain correlation functions, which characterise these phases, are then obtained through the Hellmann-Feynman theorem.

Completeness of the Bethe states for the rational, spin-1/2 Richardson--Gaudin system

Establishing the completeness of a Bethe Ansatz solution for an exactly solved model is a perennial challenge, which is typically approached on a case by case basis. For the rational, spin-1/2 Richardson--Gaudin system it will be argued that, for generic values of the system's coupling parameters, the Bethe states are complete. This method does not depend on knowledge of the distribution of Bethe roots, such as a string hypothesis, and is generalisable to a wider class of systems.
