Longitudinal-Field-Driven Transition in a non-integrable Non-Hermitian Transverse-Field Ising Chain via RBMs

We investigate the ground-state properties and quantum critical behavior of a non-Hermitian transverse-field Ising chain subjected to longitudinal and complex transverse magnetic fields. To address this interacting many-body problem, we employ real-valued neural quantum states based on Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RBMs), optimized using Variational Monte Carlo (VMC) sampling. Spectral analysis of finite chains reveals exceptional points associated with spontaneous parity-time (PT) symmetry breaking. A real-valued RBM framework is developed to reconstruct the ground-state eigenstates of the non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. Benchmark comparisons with exact diagonalization demonstrate that the RBM approach accurately reproduces the ground-state energy, magnetization, and spin-spin correlations. Extending the analysis to larger system sizes, we identify a non-Hermitian quantum phase transition characterized by PT-symmetry breaking and the emergence of magnetic order. Our results establish real-valued neural quantum states as an efficient and scalable framework for investigating critical phenomena in interacting non-Hermitian quantum systems.

Correcting symmetry imperfections in linear multipole traps

Multipole radio-frequency traps are central to collisional experiments in cryogenic environments. They also offer possibilities to generate new type of ion crystals topologies and in particular the potential to create infinite 1D/2D structures: ion rings and ion tubes. However, multipole traps have also been shown to be very sensitive to geometrical misalignment of the trap rods, leading to additional local trapping minima. The present work proposes a method to correct non-ideal potentials, by modifying the applied radio-frequency amplitudes for each trap rod. This approach is discussed for the octupole trap, leading to the restitution of the ideal Mexican-Hat-like pseudo-potential, expected in multipole traps. The goodness of the compensation method is quantified in terms of the choice of the diagnosis area, the residual trapping potential variations, the required adaptation of the applied radio-frequency voltage amplitudes, and the impact on the trapped ion structures. Experimental implementation for macroscopic multipole traps is also discussed, in order to propose a diagnostic method with respect to the resolution and stability of the trap drive. Using the proposed compensation technique, we discuss the feasibility of generating a homogeneous ion ring crystal, which is a measure of quality for the obtained potential well.

Fast accumulation of ions in a dual trap

Transporting charged particles between different traps has become an important feature in high-precision spectroscopy experiments of different types. In many experiments in atomic and molecular physics, the optical probing of the ions is not carried out at the same location as the creation or state preparation. In our double linear radio-frequency trap, we have implemented a fast protocol allowing to shuttle large ion clouds very efficiently between traps, in times shorter than a millisecond. Moreover, our shuttling protocol is a one-way process, allowing to add ions to an existing cloud without loss of the already trapped sample. This feature makes accumulation possible, resulting in the creation of large ion clouds. Experimental results show, that ion clouds of large size are reached with laser-cooling, however, the described mechanism does not rely on any cooling process.
