The Dicke model and the superradiance of two-level systems in a radiation field have many applications. Recently, a Dicke quantum phase transition has been realized with a Bose-Einstein condensate in a cavity. We numerically solve the many-body Schrodinger equation and study correlations in the ground state of interacting bosons in a cavity as a function of the strength of a driving laser. Beyond a critical strength, the bosons occupy multiple modes macroscopically while remaining superradiant. This fragmented superradiance can be detected by analyzing the variance of single-shot measurements.

Dynamics of Ultracold Bosons in Artificial Gauge Fields-Angular Momentum, Fragmentation, and the Variance of Entropy

Axel U. J. Lode, Sunayana Dutta, Camille Leveque

Summary: The dynamics of two-dimensional interacting ultracold bosons in an artificial gauge field were studied, revealing the implantation of angular momentum and emergence of fragmentation in the system. The experimental assessment of fragmentation and angular momentum was demonstrated to be possible through statistical analysis of image entropy variance.

Magnetic Field-Induced Mirage Gap in an Ising Superconductor

Gaomin Tang, Christoph Bruder, Wolfgang Belzig

Summary: Superconductivity is usually destroyed by a magnetic field due to pair breaking, but spin-valley locking in a two-dimensional superconductor with spin-orbit interaction can make the superconducting state resilient to large magnetic fields. The interaction of in-plane magnetic field and Ising spin-orbit coupling results in noncollinear effective fields, leading to the emergence of mirage gaps in the spectrum. These mirage gaps are signatures of equal-spin triplet finite-energy pairing correlations and are sensitive to intervalley scattering.

Out-of-equilibrium phonons in gated superconducting switches

M. F. Ritter, N. Crescini, D. Z. Haxell, M. Hinderling, H. Riel, C. Bruder, A. Fuhrer, F. Nichele

Summary: Recent experiments have shown that superconductivity in metallic nanowires can be suppressed by applying a moderate gate voltage. This suppression is not due to the presence of electric fields at the nanowire surface, but rather requires the flow of high-energy electrons. The decay of these electrons into phonons, which propagate through the substrate and affect superconductivity, is the key factor in the suppression of superconductivity in nanowires.

Half-integer vs. integer effects in quantum synchronization of spin systems

Ryan Tan, Christoph Bruder, Martin Koppenhofer

Summary: This study focuses on the quantum synchronization of a single spin system driven by an external semi-classical signal, with spin numbers larger than S = 1. The interference-based quantum synchronization blockade is found to be qualitatively different for integer and half-integer spin numbers. The explanation lies in the interplay between the external signal and the limit cycle structure in generating coherence. Furthermore, the dissipative limit-cycle stabilization mechanism leads to different levels of quantum synchronization for integer and half-integer spins, but comparable levels can be achieved by choosing appropriate limit cycles.

Accuracy of quantum simulators with ultracold dipolar molecules: A quantitative comparison between continuum and lattice descriptions

Michael Hughes, Axel U. J. Lode, Dieter Jaksch, Paolo Molignini

Summary: With the advancement in controlling and manipulating ultracold magnetic atoms and dipolar molecules, it is now possible to quantum simulate lattice models with strongly interacting dipole-dipole interactions and high densities. However, this study demonstrates that in regimes of strong dipole-dipole interactions and high densities, the continuum system fails to accurately recreate the desired lattice model. Two-band Hubbard models are required to reduce the discrepancies between continuum and lattice descriptions, but significant deviations in the density profile still remain.

Crystallization via cavity-assisted infinite-range interactions

Paolo Molignini, Camille Leveque, Hans Kessler, Dieter Jaksch, R. Chitra, Axel U. J. Lode

Summary: This study investigates the infinite-range interactions in a one-dimensional boson array mediated by a laser-driven dissipative optical cavity. The results show that, at high laser pump powers, observables including density distributions, correlation functions, and superradiance order parameters become identical for both bosons and fermions. The study also reveals the compensation effect of cavity-mediated interactions on the reduction in the strength of contact interactions needed to trigger crystallization.

Controlling charge and spin transport in an Ising-superconductor Josephson junction

Gaomin Tang, Raffael L. Klees, Christoph Bruder, Wolfgang Belzig

Summary: This study investigates a Josephson junction formed by proximitized Ising superconductors with ferromagnetic layers, leading to highly tunable spin-triplet pairing correlations and modulation of charge and spin supercurrents. The charge current can be switched by changing the alignment of the in-plane exchange fields, and a pi state can be achieved. Additionally, the charge and spin current-phase relations exhibit phi 0-junction behavior with a strongly spin-polarized FM barrier.

Optimized observable readout from single-shot images of ultracold atoms via machine learning

Axel U. J. Lode, Rui Lin, Miriam Buettner, Luca Papariello, Camille Leveque, R. Chitra, Marios C. Tsatsos, Dieter Jaksch, Paolo Molignini

Summary: This study demonstrates how artificial neural networks can optimize the extraction of observables from single-shot images, accurately obtaining both one- and two-particle densities, as well as extracting momentum-space observables from real-space single-shot images. With this technique, reconfiguring the experimental setup only once to obtain training data may lead to a significant reduction in resources.

Interpretable and unsupervised phase classification

Julian Arnold, Frank Schaefer, Martin Zonda, Axel U. J. Lode

Summary: The current interest lies in fully automated classification methods that offer direct physical insights into phase diagrams. It is desired to have interpretable methods that can explain why they classify phases as they do, and ideally these methods should be unsupervised, not requiring prior labeling or knowledge of phases. An unsupervised machine-learning method for phase classification is demonstrated here, made interpretable through an analytical derivation of the functional relationship between its predictions and input data, showcasing a physically-motivated, mean-based approach that is computationally efficient and directly explainable.
