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

The real-time simulation of large many-body quantum systems is a formidable task, that may
only be achievable with a genuine quantum computational platform. Currently, quantum …

The crossing of a continuous phase transition gives rise to the formation of topological
defects described by the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM) in the limit of slow quenches. The …

Quantum simulations of the Bose-Hubbard model (BHM) at commensurate filling can follow
spreading of correlations after a sudden quench for times long enough to estimate their …

Understanding the collective quantum dynamics of nonequilibrium many-body systems is an
outstanding challenge in quantum science. In particular, dynamics driven by quantum …

It is now widely accepted that quenches through the critical region of quantum phase
transitions result in post-transition states populated with topological defects—analogs of the …

Adiabatic preparation of a critical ground state is hampered by the closing of its energy gap
as the system size increases. However, this gap is directly relevant only for a uniform ramp …

A quantum phase transition from the miscible to the immiscible phase of a quasi-one-
dimensional binary Bose-Einstein condensate is driven by ramping down the coupling …

According to the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, there is a universal power-law relationship
between the defect density and the quench rate during a slow linear quench through a …

The transverse field in the quantum Ising chain is linearly ramped from the para-to the
ferromagnetic phase across the quantum critical point at a rate characterized by a quench …
