From Phys. Rev. B 106, 214202 (2022). Illustration of the disorder driven Anderson localization transition on random graphs of effective infinite dimensionality.

Recently, we have addressed [García-Mata (2022)] the Anderson transition in random graphs, which is a phenomenon of interest because it may help us better understand the many-body localization (MBL) transition. We have considered an Anderson model on a swall-world model, a type of network where nodes are connected not only to their immediate neighbors but also to nodes that are farther away, resulting in short path lengths between nodes and effective infinite dimensionality. While the existence and value of a critical disorder separating a localized and delocalized phase in random graphs are well established, the nature of the transition is not well understood. Recent work on the MBL transition predicts that the flow is of Kosterlitz-Thouless type, and this paper shows that the Anderson transition on graphs displays the same type of flow.

    Using ultracold gases for quantum simulation of condensed-matter or/and high-energy physics

    (David WILKOWSKI)

    We perform quantum simulations mimicking Hamiltonians with an artificial gauge field. Recently, we studied the matter-wave dynamic in a non-Abelian gauge field and found an oscillatory behaviour (Figure a and b) that it is governed by a non-inertial force leading to spin-Hall effect associated to the spin-texture of the system (Figure c). This dynamics is a generalization of the Zitterbewegung relativistic effect in a two-dimensional non-Abelian gauge field.

      Using neural networks and quantum simulators to describe quantum matter

      We analyze many-body quantum system by representing them with an ansatz formed by a neural network. Within this framework, we use variational quantum Monte Carlo to find the ground state. We have been working on methods to render more efficient and effective the search of the ground state. In particular we have proposed and tested the use of transfer learning, for which the parameters of a network at a certain scale are initialized from the parameters learned at smaller scales. More recently we have also proposed the sequential local optimization algorithm, which can help improve the optimization of the neural network parameters, and approach an accurate description of the ground state.

      We also explore, in parallel the simulation of interacting quantum systems with near term quantum computers.

      Studying quantum transport and thermalization/condensation for matter waves subjected to random potentials, interactions or artificial gauge fields

      (Christian MINIATURA)

      We have studied the momentum-space signatures of the Anderson metal-insulator transition in 2D disordered spin-orbit systems (Fig.1). The critical exponent and mobility edge of the metal-insulator transition have been successfully obtained through a finite-time analysis of the coherent backscattering (anti)-peak width (Fig.2). An anomalous residual diffusion has been also identified at the mobility edge. A spin localization phenomenon has been also observed in the deep localized regime [arXiv:2301.07288v1 (2023)].

        • We study three-terminal ring circuit pierced by a synthetic magnetic flux.
        • The flux controls the atomic current through the ring via the Aharonov-Bohm effect.
        • Flux-induced transition of reflections from an Andreev-like negative density to positive density.is demonstrated.
        • By changing the flux linearly in time, we convert constant matter wave currents into an AC modulated current.

        Integrated Photonic Chips

        • Quantum autoencoders serve as efficient means for quantum data compression.
        • We demonstrate the use of autoencoder to reduce resource  costs  for  quantum  teleportation  in  high-dimensional   
        • Unsupervised machine learning is applied to train the on-chip autoencoder, enabling the compression and teleportation of any state from a high-dimensional subspace
