Alvise Bastianello | Towards a sine-Gordon Quantum Simulator with a Quantum Gas Microscope

▶Title: Towards a sine-Gordon Quantum Simulator with a Quantum Gas Microscope
▶Speaker: Alvise Bastianello (TUM)
▶Abstract: Universality is one of the pillars of our understanding and classification of quantum phases of matter: several seemingly unrelated microscopic models, upon coarse-graining, are describable by a handful of collective degrees of freedom.
The sine-Gordon model emerges as the low-energy description of a multitude of physical systems and thus is of central interest for a multifaceted community: building a reliable and highly-tunable sine-Gordon quantum simulator is not only a technical virtuosity, but rather an urgent need with far-reaching applications.
Recent efforts have been directed towards realizing quantum simulators of the model from the interference of two weakly coupled one-dimensional cold atomic gases. However, weak interactions push the emergent field theory close to its semiclassical limit.
In this talk, I will discuss how Bose-Hubbard lattice implementations offer a convenient venue to realize a sine-Gordon simulator deeply in the quantum regime. Furthermore, I will discuss efficient schemes to imprint and detect quantum solitons via a Quantum Gas Microscope.
