  • Quantum and classical field scattered on a single two-level system

    by S. A. Gunin, A. Yu. Dmitriev, A. V. Vasenin, K. S. Tikhonov, G. P. Fedorov, O. V. Astafiev

    In many problems, the scattering amplitudes of a weak coherent pulse are almost equivalent to the ones of a single propagating photon. We thoroughly compare the scattering of (i) a short microwave coherent pulse from a rf generator and (ii) a vacuum-photon coherent superposition from the two-level emitter, both directed to a single two-level system—the probe. To do that, we use two superconducting qubits to implement emitter and probe, both strongly coupled to the same waveguide. However, with the use of a magnetic circulator we couple the field from the emitter to the probe without reverse backaction, thereby working with a cascaded atomic system implemented in a waveguide-QED setup. By measuring the dynamics of the scattered field, we find a certain discrepancy between two cases, confirmed by analytical and numerical study. Particularly, we find the optimal amplitude Ω* of classical pulse mimicking the superposition from the emitter, for which the difference becomes very small (but nonvanishing) and is almost unavailable to measure in practice.

    Viscous flow through a finite-width slit: Boundary conditions and dissipation

    by Daniil Asafov, Valentin Kachorovskii, Konstantin Tikhonov, Gu Zhang

    We study the hydrodynamic viscous electronic transport in a two-dimensional sample separated into two semi-infinite planes by a one-dimensional infinite barrier. The semi-infinite planes are electrically connected via the finite-size slit in the barrier. We calculate the current through the slit assuming finite voltage drop between the planes and neglecting disorder-induced Ohmic resistance, so that dissipation and resistance are purely viscosity-induced. We find that the only solution to the Stokes equation in this geometry, which yields a finite dissipation at finite resistance (and, hence, is not self-contradictory), is the one that fulfills both the no-stress and no-slip boundary conditions simultaneously. As a remarkable consequence, the obtained velocity profile satisfies the so-called "partial-slip" (Maxwell) boundary condition for any value of the slip length, which drops out from all final results. We also calculate the electronic temperature profile for the small and large heat conductivity, and find asymmetric (with respect to the barrier) temperature patterns in the former case.

  • Eigenstate correlations around the many-body localization transition

    by K. S. Tikhonov, A. D. Mirlin

    We explore correlations of eigenstates around the many-body localization (MBL) transition in their dependence on the energy difference (frequency) ω and disorder W. In addition to the genuine many-body problem, XXZ spin chain in random field, we consider localization on random regular graphs that serves as a toy model of the MBL transition. Both models show a very similar behavior. On the localized side of the transition, the eigenstate correlation function β(ω) shows a power-law enhancement of correlations with lowering ω; the corresponding exponent depends on W. The correlation between adjacent-in-energy eigenstates exhibits a maximum at the transition point Wc, visualizing the drift of Wc with increasing system size towards its thermodynamic-limit value. The correlation function β(ω) is related, via Fourier transformation, to the Hilbert-space return probability. We discuss measurement of such (and related) eigenstate correlation functions on state-of-the-art quantum computers and simulators.

    Generalization properties of neural network approximations to frustrated magnet ground states

    by Tom Westerhout, Nikita Astrakhantsev, Konstantin S. Tikhonov, Mikhail I. Katsnelson, Andrey A. Bagrov

    Neural quantum states (NQS) attract a lot of attention due to their potential to serve as a very expressive variational ansatz for quantum many-body systems. Here we study the main factors governing the applicability of NQS to frustrated magnets by training neural networks to approximate ground states of several moderately-sized Hamiltonians using the corresponding wave function structure on a small subset of the Hilbert space basis as training dataset. We notice that generalization quality, i.e. the ability to learn from a limited number of samples and correctly approximate the target state on the rest of the space, drops abruptly when frustration is increased. We also show that learning the sign structure is considerably more difficult than learning amplitudes. Finally, we conclude that the main issue to be addressed at this stage, in order to use the method of NQS for simulating realistic models, is that of generalization rather than expressibility.
