Dynamical phase transition in generalized Dicke model with strongly interacting trapped Rydberg ions

We study dynamical phase transitions in the generalized dissipative Dicke model in an array of trapped Rydberg ions, where their density-density interactions compete with the collective spin-phonon coupling, laser driving and dissipation. This setting offers a versatile approach to study equilibrium as well as non-equilibrium many-body phenomena, as parameters, such as the Ising interaction, laser-ion and spin-phonon coupling can be tuned. Through analyzing the mean-field phase diagram, we find a variety of distinct phases and the emergence of a tricritical point that are sensitively dependent of the interaction between Rydberg ions. We then study the quantum dynamics for a finite system size and characterize parameter dependent dynamics using the spin average, entropy, and Loschmidt echo. Distinctive signatures of the dynamical phases, such as slow relaxation and metastability, arise near the phase transition. This analysis predicts rich quantum dynamics of the finite system that link to the non-equilibrium mean-field phases. Our study widens the exploration of collective and non-equilibrium phases in Dicke models, and reveals that the Rydberg ion interaction drastically affects the phase diagram and dynamics.

Dissipative State Engineering of Complex Entanglement with Markovian Dynamics

Highly multipartite entangled states play an important role in various quantum computing tasks. We investigate the dissipative generation of a complex entanglement structure as in a cluster state through engineered Markovian dynamics in the spin systems coupled via Ising interactions. Using the Lindblad master equation, we design a projection based dissipative channel that drives the system toward a unique pure steady state corresponding to the desired cluster state. This is done by removing the contribution of the orthogonal states. By explicitly constructing the Liouvillian superoperator in the full $2^N$-dimensional Hilbert space, we compute the steady-state density matrix, the Liouvillian spectral gap, entanglement witness and the fidelity with respect to the ideal cluster state. The results demonstrate that the cluster state emerges as the steady state when the engineered Liouvillian dissipation dominates over the local Ising interaction between spins. Moreover, we find that the fidelity and Liouvillian spectral gap is relatively insensitive to the system size once the saturation dissipation has been achieved that scales linearly with the qubit number. This analysis illustrates a physically realizable path towards steady-state entanglement generation in the spin systems using engineered dissipation.

Macroscopic quantum teleportation with ensembles of qubits

We develop methods for performing quantum teleportation of the total spin variables of an unknown state, using quantum nondemolition measurements, spin projection measurements, and classical communication. While theoretically teleportation of high-dimensional states can be attained with the assumption of generalized Bell measurements, this is typically experimentally non-trivial to implement. We introduce two protocols and show that, on average, the teleportation succeeds in teleporting the spin variables of a spin coherent state with average zero angular error in the ideal case, beating classical strategies based on quantum state estimation. In a single run of the teleportation, there is an angular error at the level of ~ 0.1 radians for large ensembles. A potential physical implementation for the scheme is with atomic ensembles and quantum nondemolition measurements performed with light. We analyze the decoherence of the protocols and find that the protocol is robust even in the limit of large ensemble sizes.

Photon loss effects on light-mediated non-Gaussian entangled Bose-Einstein condensates projecting with different photon measurement outcomes

The theory of quantum information processing for macroscopic qubits is based on the fact that every macroscopic qubit has a conserved number of particles. However, from an experimental point of view, every such qubit experiences processes of decoherence that impact the possibilities for entanglement generation between such qubits and use in quantum information processing efficiently. One of the most prospective methods for generating entanglement between distant atomic BECs is quantum nondemolition measurements. Here, we study how the effects of photon measurement impact the entanglement when photon loss decoherence is included. We employ the thermally entangled state representation (TESR) and integral within the ordered operator(IWOP) approach to obtain the accurate density matrix in a photon loss channel. We demonstrate that varying outcomes of photon number measurements lead to the generation of distinct entangled states, each exhibiting unique characteristics. We find that using the Hofmann-Takeuchi and Duan-Giedke-Cirac-Zoller criterion provides advantages in entanglement detection compared to the Wineland squeezing and EPR steering criterion in such settings.

Spin Phonon Relaxation Dynamics from a Conical Intersection of Trapped Rydberg Ions

Non-adiabatic processes near conical intersections are rooted in the stronger coupling between electronic and nuclear degrees of freedom. Using a system of two trapped Rydberg ions, their high polarizability and strong dipolar interactions allow to form a conical intersection, where dynamics takes place on a microsecond time scale. Rydberg lifetimes are typically from a few to tens of microseconds, which could affect the conical dynamics. We study the effect of the finite lifetime of the Rydberg state on the vibronic dynamics around the conical intersection via analyzing the master equation. Through mean field and numerical calculations, damping dynamics are found in both the phonon populations and electronic states depending on the initial states. It is found that oscillatory vibronic dynamics can be seen clearly within the Rydberg lifetime, permitting to observe the conical effect in the trapped Rydberg ion system.

Macroscopic maximally entangled state preparation between two atomic ensembles

We develop a scheme to prepare a macroscopic maximally entangled state (MMES) between two atomic ensembles using adaptive quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements. The quantum state of the system is evolved using a sequence of QND measurements followed by adaptive unitaries, such that the desired measurement outcome is obtained with asymptotically unit probability. This procedure is repeated in z and x spin basis alternately such that the state converges deterministically towards the maximally entangled state. Up to a local spin-basis rotation, the maximally entangled state has zero total spin angular momentum, i.e. it is a singlet state. Our protocol does not perform postselection and works beyond the Holstein-Primakoff regime for the atomic spin degrees of freedom, producing genuine macroscopic entanglement.

Measurement-based deterministic imaginary time evolution

We introduce a method to perform imaginary time evolution in a controllable quantum system using measurements and conditional unitary operations. By performing a sequence of weak measurements based on the desired Hamiltonian constructed by a Suzuki-Trotter decomposition, an evolution approximating imaginary time evolution can be realized. The randomness due to measurement is corrected using conditional unitary operations, making the evolution deterministic. Both the measurements required for the algorithm and the conditional unitary operations can be constructed efficiently. We show that the algorithm converges only below a specified energy threshold and the complexity is estimated for some specific problem instances.

Imaginary time evolution with quantum nondemolition measurements: multi-qubit interactions via measurement nonlinearities

We show that quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements can be used to realize measurement-based imaginary time evolution. In our proposed scheme, repeated weak QND measurements are used to estimate the energy of a given Hamiltonian. Based on this estimated energy, adaptive unitary operations are applied such that only the targeted energy eigenstates are fixed points of the evolution. In this way, the system is deterministically driven towards the desired state. The nonlinear nature of the QND measurement, which allows for producing interactions between systems, is explicitly derived in terms of measurement operators. We show that for suitable interaction times, single qubit QND Hamiltonians can be converted to effective multi-qubit imaginary time operations. We illustrate our techniques with the example of preparing a four qubit cluster state, which is prepared using only collective single qubit QND measurements and single qubit adaptive operations.

Optical and atomic decoherence in entangled atomic ensembles generated by quantum nondemolition measurements

We study the effects of decoherence in the form of optical phase diffusion, photon loss and gain, and atomic dephasing in entangled atomic ensembles produced via quantum nondemolition (QND) measurements. For the optical decoherence channels, we use the technique of integration within ordered operators (IWOP) to obtain the Kraus operators that describe the decoherence. We analyze the effect of different decoherence channels on a variety of quantities such as the variances of the spin operators, entanglement and correlation criteria, logarithmic negativity, and the Bell-CHSH inequality. We generally find a smooth decay of correlations and entanglement in the presence of decoherence. We find that various quantities retain showing non-classical properties under all three types of decoherence, in the short interaction time range. Our results show that such QND measurements are one of the most promising methods for entanglement generation between two Bose-Einstein condensates.

Stroboscopic quantum nondemolition measurements for enhanced entanglement generation between atomic ensembles

We develop a measurement operator formalism to handle quantum nondemolition (QND) measurement induced entanglement generation between two atomic gases. We first derive how the QND entangling scheme reduces to a positive operator-valued measure, and consider its limiting case when it can be used to construct a projection operator that collapses the state to a total spin projection state. We then analyze how a stroboscopic sequence of such projections made in the x and z basis evolves the initial wave function. Such a sequence of QND projections can enhance the entanglement between the atomic ensembles and makes the state converge towards a highly entangled state. We show several mathematical identities which greatly simplify the state evolution in the projection sequence and allow one to derive the exact state in a highly efficient manner. Our formalism does not use the Holstein-Primakoff approximation as is conventionally done, and treats the spins of the atomic gases in an exact way.

Remote state preparation of two-component Bose-Einstein condensates

A protocol for remote state preparation is proposed for spin ensembles, where the aim is to prepare a state with a given set of spin expectation values on a remote spin ensemble using entanglement, local spin rotations, and measurements in the Fock basis. The spin ensembles could be realized by thermal atomic ensembles or spinor Bose-Einstein condensates. The protocol works beyond the Holstein-Primakoff approximation, such that spin expectation values for the full Bloch sphere can be prepared. The main practical obstacle is the preparation of the maximally entangled state between the spin ensembles. To overcome this, we examine using states based on the two-axis two-spin (2A2S) Hamiltonian in place of the maximally entangled state and examine its performance. We find that the version of the protocol with 2A2S squeezing well-approximates the maximally entangled state, such that spin averages can be remotely prepared. We evaluate the errors of using 2A2S squeezed states, and find that it decreases with the ensemble size. With post-selection, errors can be systematically decreased further.

Two-axis two-spin squeezed states

The states generated by the two-spin generalization of the two-axis countertwisting Hamiltonian are examined. We analyze the behavior at both short and long timescales, by calculating various quantities such as squeezing, spin expectation values, probability distributions, entanglement, Wigner functions, and Bell correlations. In the limit of large spin ensembles and short interaction times, the state can be described by a two-mode squeezed vacuum state; for qubits, Bell state entanglement is produced. We find that the Hamiltonian approximately produces two types of spin-EPR states, and the time evolution produces aperiodic oscillations between them. In a similar way to the basis invariance of Bell states and two-mode squeezed vacuum states, the Fock state correlations of spin-EPR states are basis invariant. We find that it is possible to violate a Bell inequality with such states, although the violation diminishes with increasing ensemble size. Effective methods to detect entanglement are also proposed, and formulas for the optimal times to enhance various properties are calculated.
