ABSTRACT
Two-dimensional p+ip superconductors and superfluids are systems that feature chiral behavior emerging from the Cooper pairing of electrons or neutral fermionic atoms with nonzero angular momentum. Their realization has been a longstanding goal because they offer great potential utility for quantum computation memory. However, have so far eluded experimental observation both in solid-state as well ultracold gases. Here, we propose to leverage tremendous control offered by rotating two-dimensional trapped-ion crystals Penning trap simulate dynamical phases superfluids. This is accomplished mapping presence absence pair into an effective spin-1/2 system encoded ions' electronic levels. We show how infer topological properties phases, discuss role beyond mean-field corrections. More broadly, our work opens door use explore exotic models superconductivity also paves way generate manipulate skyrmionic spin textures these platforms.Received 21 April 2022Revised 16 September 2022Accepted 31 October 2022DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PRXQuantum.3.040324Published American Physical Society under terms Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license.
