The combination of interactions and static gauge fields plays a pivotal role in our understanding strongly-correlated quantum matter. Cold atomic gases endowed with synthetic dimension are emerging as an ideal platform to experimentally address this interplay quasi-one-dimensional systems. A fundamental question is whether these setups can give access pristine two-dimensional phenomena, such the fractional Hall effect, how. We show that unambiguous signatures bosonic fermionic Laughlin-like...

We study large networks of parametric oscillators as heuristic solvers random Ising models. In these networks, known coherent machines, the model to be solved is encoded in coupling between oscillators, and a solution offered by steady state network. This approach relies on assumption that mode competition steers network ground-state model. By considering broad family frustrated models, we show most-efficient does not correspond generically ground infer close threshold are intrinsically...
Networks of optical oscillators simulating coupled Ising spins have been recently proposed as a heuristic platform to solve hard optimization problems. These networks, called coherent machines (CIMs), exploit the fact that collective nonlinear dynamics can drive system close global minimum classical Hamiltonian, encoded in coupling matrix network. To date, realizations large-scale CIMs demonstrated using hybrid optical-electronic setups, where different are subject electronic feedback...
From condensed matter to quantum chromodynamics, multidimensional spins are a fundamental paradigm, with pivotal role in combinatorial optimization and machine learning. Machines formed by coupled parametric oscillators can simulate spin models, but only for Ising or low-dimensional spins. Currently, machines implementing arbitrary dimensions remain challenge. Here, we introduce validate hyperspin continuous models. We realize high-dimensional pumping groups of oscillators, study NP-hard...
Periodically driven parametric oscillators offer a convenient way to simulate classical Ising spins. When many are coupled dissipatively, they can be analogous networks of spins, forming an effective coherent machine (CIM) that efficiently solves computationally hard optimization problems. In the companion paper, we studied experimentally minimal realization CIM, i.e. two [L. Bello, M. Calvanese Strinati, E. G. Dalla Torre, and A. Pe'er, Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 083901 (2019)]. We found...

The theoretical investigation of effective models hosting them is gaining considerable importance in view present-day condensed-matter realizations where they have been predicted to appear. Here we study the simplest number-conserving model particlelike Fock parafermions, namely a one-dimensional tight-binding model. By means numerical simulations based on exact...
Topological order, the hallmark of fractional quantum Hall states, is primarily defined in terms ground-state degeneracy on higher-genus manifolds, e.g. torus. We investigate analytically and numerically smooth crossover between this topological regime Tao-Thouless thin torus quasi-1D limit. Using wire-construction approach, we analyze an emergent charge density wave (CDW) signifying break-down relate its phase shifts to Wilson loop operators. The CDW amplitude decreases exponentially with...
Abstract We explore the coherent dynamics in a small network of three coupled parametric oscillators and demonstrate effect frustration on persistent beating between them. Since single-mode oscillator represents an analogue classical Ising spin, networks are considered as simulators spin models, aiming to efficiently calculate ground state network—a computationally hard problem. However, can be considerably richer than that spins, depending nature coupling them (energy preserving or...

Mode locking in lasers is a collective effect, where due to weak coupling large number of frequency modes lock their phases oscillate unison, forming an ultrashort pulse time. We demonstrate analogous effect coupled parametric oscillators, which we term ``pairwise mode locking,'' many pairs with twin frequencies (symmetric around the center carrier) simultaneously locked phase sum, while individual remain undefined. Thus, despite being broadband and multimode, emission not pulsed lacks...
