Quantum Simulation of Magnetic Spin Phases with Atoms and Ions in Optical Lattices
Abstract
We summarize our program on demonstrating quantum simulations of strongly-interacting magnetic spin systems, using individual trapped ions and atoms. We have simulated phase diagrams for particular classes of spin and lattice Hamiltonians prevalent in models of quantum magnetism and quantum transport, and verified with known theoretical techniques applied to simple cases of the Hamiltonians. The quantum spins in this work are represented primarily by hyperfine ground states in cold atoms, and the spin-spin couplings are realized with various forms of interactions with optical fields and optical lattices.
