Controlling Atom Array in an Ultra-high-cooperativity Optical Cavity

Neutral-atom array and cavity quantum electrodynamics offer complementary strengths for quantum science: scalable, reconfigurable qubit architectures and strong coherent light-matter coupling. Combining them in a single platform requires an optical cavity with simultaneously high cooperativity, sufficient mode volume to accommodate atom array, and ample side optical access for atom trapping, imaging, cooling, and rearrangement, a combination that is challenging to achieve. Here we realize an atomic array integrated with a millimeter-scale Fabry--Pérot cavity whose optically-characterized single-atom cooperativity reaches $η_{\mathrm{cav}}=125\pm13$. Atom-cavity transmission spectra of trapped atoms yield an effective spectroscopic cooperativity $η_{\mathrm{spec}}=112.3\pm3.3$, providing an in-situ verification of strong coupling in the integrated platform, and we demonstrate simultaneous coupling of up to 16 individually trapped atoms to the antinode of the cavity mode. The key technical advance is a two-step mirror-fabrication method combining precision mechanical shaping and carbon-dioxide laser polishing, which produces concave fused-silica mirrors with sub-millimeter radii of curvature and residual roughness below 2 Å. Our results establish a regime of cavity-integrated atomic array that simultaneously provides high cooperativity, large mode volume, and flexible manipulation of individual atoms, opening opportunities for cavity-assisted quantum state readout and long-range entanglement-engineering in atom-array platforms.

Global well-posedness and large time behavior of solutions to the compressible Oldroyd-B model without stress diffusion

We consider the Cauchy problem ($\mathbb{R}^d, d=2,3$) and the initial boundary values problem ($\mathbb{T}^d, d=2,3$)associated to the compressible Oldroyd-B model which is first derived by Barrett, Lu and Süli [Existence of large-data finite-energy global weak solutions to a compressible Oldroyd-B model, Commun. Math. Sci., 15 (2017), 1265--1323] through micro-macro-analysis of the compressible Navier-Stokes-Fokker-Planck system.Due to lack of stress diffusion, the problems considered here are very difficult. Exploiting tools from harmonic analysis,notably the Littlewood Paley theory,we first establish the global well-posedness and time-decay rates for solutions of the model with small initial data in Besov spaces with critical regularity.Then, through deeply exploring and fully utilizing the structure of the perturbation system,we obtain the global well-posedness and exponential decay rates for solutions of the model with small initial data in the Soboles spaces $H^3(\mathbb{T}^d)$.Our obtained results improve considerably the recent results by Lu, Pokorný [Anal. Theory Appl., 36 (2020), 348--372],Wang, Wen [Math. Models Methods Appl. Sci., 30 (2020), 139--179],and Liu, Lu, Wen [SIAM J. Math. Anal., 53 (2021), 6216--6242].

Stability for the $2\frac12$-D compressible viscous non-resistive and heat-conducting magnetohydrodynamic flow

In this paper, we are concerned with the initial boundary values problem associated to the compressible viscous non-resistive and heat-conducting magnetohydrodynamic flow, where the magnetic field is vertical. More precisely, by exploiting the intrinsic structure of the system and introducing several new unknown quantities, we overcome the difficulty stemming from the lack of dissipation for density and magnetic field, and prove the global well-posedness of strong solutions in the framework of Soboles spaces $H^3$. In addition, we also get the exponential decay for this non-resistive system. Different from the known results [23], [24], [42], we donot need the assumption that the background magnetic field is positive here.

Dissipation Driven Coherent Dynamics Observed in Bose-Einstein Condensates

We report the first experimental observation of dissipation-driven coherent quantum many-body oscillation, and this oscillation is manifested as the coherent exchange of atoms between the thermal and the condensate components in a three-dimensional partially condensed Bose gas. Firstly, we observe that the dissipation leads to two different atom loss rates between the thermal and the condensate components, such that the thermal fraction increases as dissipation time increases. Therefore, this dissipation process serves as a tool to uniformly ramp up the system's temperature without introducing extra density excitation. Subsequently, a coherent pair exchange of atoms between the thermal and the condensate components occurs, resulting in coherent oscillation of atom numbers in both components. This oscillation, permanently embedded in the atom loss process, is revealed clearly when we inset a duration of dissipation-free evolution into the entire dynamics, manifested as an oscillation of total atom number at the end. Finally, we also present a theoretical calculation to support this physical mechanism, which simultaneously includes dissipation, interaction, finite temperature, and harmonic trap effects. Our work introduces a highly controllable dissipation as a new tool to control quantum many-body dynamics.

Observation of universal dissipative dynamics in strongly correlated quantum gas

Dissipation is unavoidable in quantum systems. It usually induces decoherences and changes quantum correlations. To access the information of strongly correlated quantum matters, one has to overcome or suppress dissipation to extract out the underlying quantum phenomena. However, here we find an opposite effect that dissipation can be utilized as a powerful tool to probe the intrinsic correlations of quantum many-body systems. Applying highly-controllable dissipation in ultracold atomic systems, we observe a universal dissipative dynamics in strongly correlated one-dimensional quantum gases. The total particle number of this system follows a universal stretched-exponential decay, and the stretched exponent measures the anomalous dimension of the spectral function, a critical exponent characterizing strong quantum fluctuations of this system. This method could have broad applications in detecting strongly correlated features, including spin-charge separations and Fermi arcs in quantum materials.

Bosonic fractional quantum Hall conductance in shaken honeycomb optical lattices without flat bands

We propose a scheme to realize bosonic fractional quantum Hall conductance in shaken honeycomb optical lattices. This scheme does not require a very flat band, and the necessary long-range interaction relies on s-wave scattering, which is common in many ultracold-atom experiments. By filling the lattice at 1/4 with identical bosons under Feshbach resonance, two degenerate many-body ground states share one Chern number of 1 and correspond exactly to the fractional quantum Hall conductance of 1/2. Meanwhile, we prove that the fractional quantum Hall state can be prepared by adiabatically turning on the lattice shaking, and the fractional conductance is robust in the shaken lattice. This provides an easy way to initialize and prepare the fractional quantum Hall states in ultracold-atom platforms, and it paves the way to investigate and simulate strongly correlated quantum matters with degenerate quantum gas.

Global small solutions to the inviscid Hall-MHD system

The local existence of smooth solutions to the inviscid Hall-MHD system has been obtained since Chae, Degond and Liu [Ann. Inst. H. Poincaré Anal. Non Linéaire, {31} (2014), 555--565]. However, as we known, how to construct the global small solutions to the inviscid Hall-MHD system is still an open problem. In the present paper, we give a positive answer in $ \mathbb{T}^3$ when the initial magnetic field is close to a background magnetic field satisfying the Diophantine condition.

Convergence problem of Schrödinger equation in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces with rough data and random data

In this paper, we consider the convergence problem of Schrödinger equation. Firstly, we show the almost everywhere pointwise convergence of Schrödinger equation in Fourier-Lebesgue spaces $\hat{H}^{\frac{1}{p},\frac{p}{2}}(\mathbb{R})(4\leq p<\infty),$ $\hat{H}^{\frac{3 s_{1}}{p},\frac{2p}{3}}(\mathbb{R}^2)(s_{1}>\frac{1}{3},3\leq p<\infty),$ $\hat{H}^{\frac{2 s_{1}}{p},p}(\mathbb{R}^n)(s_{1}>\frac{n}{2(n+1)},2\leq p<\infty,n\geq3)$ with rough data. Secondly, we show that the maximal function estimate related to one Schrödinger equation can fail with data in $\hat{H}^{s,\frac{p}{2}}(\mathbb{R})(s<\frac{1}{p})$. Finally, we show the stochastic continuity of Schrödinger equation with random data in $\hat{L}^{r}(\mathbb{R}^n)(2\leq r<\infty)$ almost surely. The main ingredients are Lemmas 2.4, 2.5, 3.2-3.4.

Creation of 2000-atom Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states by entanglement amplification

We propose a novel entanglement-creation scheme in a multi-atom ensemble, named entanglement amplification, which converts unentangled states into entangled states and amplifies less-entangled ones to maximally-entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. The scheme starts with a multi-atom ensemble initialized in a coherent spin state. By shifting the energy of a particular Dicke state, we break the Hilbert space of the ensemble into two isolated subspaces to tear the coherent spin state into two components so that entanglement is introduced. After that, we utilize the isolated subspaces to further enhance the entanglement by coherently separating the two components. By single-particle Rabi drivings on atoms in a high-finesse optical cavity illuminated by a single-frequency light, 2000-atom GHZ states can be created with a fidelity above 80% in an experimentally achievable system, making resources of ensembles at Heisenberg limit practically available for quantum metrology.
