Abstract Conventional superconductivity emerges from pairing of charge carriers—electrons or holes—mediated by phonons 1 . In many unconventional superconductors, the mechanism is conjectured to be mediated magnetic correlations 2 , as captured models mobile charges in doped antiferromagnets 3 However, a precise understanding underlying real materials still lacking and has been driving experimental theoretical research for past 40 years. Early studies predicted magnetic-mediated dopants...
Since the discovery of superconductivity in cuprate materials, minimal ingredients for high-${T}_{c}$ have been an outstanding puzzle. Motivated by recently discovered nickelate bilayer superconductor ${\mathrm{La}}_{3}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$ under pressure, we study a model, which, as ${\mathrm{La}}_{3}{\mathrm{Ni}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{7}$, interlayer and intralayer magnetic interactions but no hopping are present: A mixed-dimensional (mixD) $t\text{\ensuremath{-}}J$ model. In...

Out-of-time ordered (OTO) correlation functions describe scrambling of information in correlated quantum matter. They are particular interest incoherent systems lacking well defined quasi-particles. Thus far, it is largely elusive how OTO correlators spread with diffusive transport governed by a few globally conserved quantities. Here, we study the dynamical response such system using high-performance matrix-product-operator techniques. Specifically, consider non-integrable, one-dimensional...
When a mobile hole is moving in an anti-ferromagnet it distorts the surrounding Neel order and forms magnetic polaron. Such interplay between motion anti-ferromagnetism believed to be at heart of high-Tc superconductivity cuprates. We study single described by t-Jz model with Ising interactions spins 2D. This situation can experimentally realized quantum gas microscopes. hopping much larger than couplings spins, we find strong evidence that polarons understood as bound states two partons,...
The competition between antiferromagnetism and hole motion in two-dimensional Mott insulators lies at the heart of a doping-dependent transition from an anomalous metal to conventional Fermi liquid. Condensed matter experiments suggest charge carriers change their nature within this crossover, but complete understanding remains elusive. We observe such crossover Fermi-Hubbard systems on cold-atom quantum simulator reveal transformation multi-point correlations spins holes upon increasing...

Interacting many-body systems combining confined and extended dimensions, such as ladders few layer are characterized by enhanced quantum fluctuations, which often result in interesting collective properties. Recently two-dimensional bilayer systems, twisted graphene or ultracold atoms, have sparked a lot of interest because they can host rich phase diagrams, including unconventional superconductivity. Here we present theoretical proposal for realizing high temperature pairing fermions class...
The interplay of interactions and strong disorder can lead to an exotic quantum many-body localized (MBL) phase matter. Beyond the absence transport, MBL has distinctive signatures, such as slow dephasing logarithmic entanglement growth; they commonly result in subtle modifications dynamics, rendering their measurement challenging. Here, we experimentally characterize these properties a system coupled superconducting qubits. By implementing sensitive techniques, map out structure local...

Abstract Ever since the discovery of high-temperature superconductivity in cuprates, gaining microscopic insights into nature pairing strongly correlated systems has remained one greatest challenges modern condensed matter physics. Following recent experiments reporting bilayer nickelate La 3 Ni 2 O 7 (LNO) with remarkably high critical temperatures T c = 80 K, it been argued that low-energy physics LNO can be described by correlated, mixed-dimensional t – J model. Here we investigate this...
Understanding unconventional superconductivity involves unraveling the pairing mechanism of charge carriers in doped antiferromagnets, where Cooper pairs form despite repulsive interactions. This paper examines a model relevant to bilayer nickelate superconductors, revealing transition from tightly bound spatially extended as repulsion increases. At strong repulsion, microscopic is identified that leads robust with peak binding energies at around 30% doping, which can be tested using quantum...

A next significant step will be such settings mobile dopants. This enable one to simulate physics believed underlie many strongly correlated materials. Here, we propose an experimental scheme realize bosonic $t--J$ models via encoding local Hilbert space in set three internal...
Abstract Numerically simulating large, spinful, fermionic systems is of great interest in condensed matter physics. However, the exponential growth Hilbert space dimension with system size renders exact quantum state parameterizations impractical. Owing to their representative power, neural networks often allow overcome this scaling. Here, we investigate ability states (NQS) represent bosonic and t − J model – high interaction limit Hubbard on various 1D 2D lattices. Using autoregressive,...

Quantum many-body scarring is a paradigm of weak ergodicity breaking arising due to the presence special nonthermal eigenstates that possess low entanglement entropy, are equally spaced in energy, and concentrate certain parts Hilbert space. Though scars have been shown be intimately connected gauge theories, their stability such experimentally relevant models still an open question, it generally considered they exist only under fine-tuned conditions. In this work, we show through...

These can lead to insulating states with spin order, and upon doping competing ordered including unconventional superconductivity. The underlying pairing mechanism remains poorly understood however, even in simplified theoretical models.
