Floquet engineering is the concept of tailoring a system by a periodic drive, and it is
increasingly employed in many areas of physics. Ultracold atoms in optical lattices offer a …

The many-body physics at quantum phase transitions shows a subtle interplay between
quantum and thermal fluctuations, emerging in the low-temperature limit. In this review, we …

Quantum simulation has emerged as a valuable arena for demonstrating and understanding
the capabilities of near-term quantum computers,–. Quantum annealing, has been …

Quantum phase transitions (QPTs) involve transformations between different states of matter
that are driven by quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations play a dominant part in the …

Interacting many-body systems display enhanced sensitivity close to critical transition points
due to diverging quantum fluctuations. This criticality-based enhancement has been …

Understanding the behaviour of isolated quantum systems far from equilibrium and their
equilibration is one of the most pressing problems in quantum many-body physics,. There is …

Interactions in many-body physical systems, from condensed matter to high-energy physics,
lead to the emergence of exotic particles. Examples are mesons in quantum …

The quantum Kibble-Zurek mechanism (QKZM) predicts universal dynamical behavior near
the quantum phase transitions (QPTs). It is now well understood for the one-dimensional …

We demonstrate a density-dependent gauge field, induced by atomic interactions, for
quantum gases. The gauge field results from the synchronous coupling between the …

The trapped-ion quantum simulator has demonstrated qualitative properties of different
physical models for up to tens of ions. In particular, a linear ion chain naturally hosts long …
