Long-lived interacting phases of matter protected by multiple time-translation symmetries in quasiperiodically driven systems
DV Else, WW Ho, PT Dumitrescu - Physical Review X, 2020 - APS
We show how a large family of interacting nonequilibrium phases of matter can arise from
the presence of multiple time-translation symmetries, which occur by quasiperiodically …

Making Trotterization adaptive and energy-self-correcting for NISQ devices and beyond
Simulation of continuous-time evolution requires time discretization on both classical and
quantum computers. A finer time step improves simulation precision but it inevitably leads to …

Random multipolar driving: Tunably slow heating through spectral engineering
Driven quantum systems may realize novel phenomena absent in static systems, but driving-
