Directional amplifiers are an important resource in quantum information processing, as they protect sensitive systems from excess noise. Here, we propose implementation of phase-preserving and phase-sensitive directional for microwave signals electromechanical setup comprising two cavities mechanical resonators.

We consider the preparation of matrix product states (MPS) on quantum devices via circuits local gates. first prove that faithfully preparing translation-invariant normal MPS $N$ sites requires a circuit depth $T=\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}(\mathrm{log}N)$. then introduce an algorithm based renormalization-group transformation to prepare with error $\ensuremath{\epsilon}$ in $T=O[\mathrm{log}(N/\ensuremath{\epsilon})]$, which is optimal. also show measurement and feedback leads exponential...
Abstract Nonreciprocal microwave devices are ubiquitous in radar and radio communication indispensable the readout chains of superconducting quantum circuits. Since they commonly rely on ferrite materials requiring large magnetic fields that make them bulky lossy, there has been significant interest magnetic-field-free on-chip alternatives, such as those recently implemented using Josephson nonlinearity. Here, we realize reconfigurable nonreciprocal transmission between two modes purely...

An adiabatic path that enables the deterministic preparation of a broad range many-body states, including AKLT on arbitrary lattice geometries, is proposed. numerical results 1D 2D demonstrate high efficiency this approach.
We determine the computational power of isometric tensor-network states (isoTNSs), a variational ansatz originally developed to numerically find and compute properties gapped ground topological in two dimensions.

Topology is quickly becoming a cornerstone in our understanding of electronic systems. Like their counterparts, bosonic systems can exhibit topological band structure, but real materials it difficult to ascertain nature, as ground state simple condensate or the vacuum, and one has rely instead on excited states, for example characteristic thermal Hall response. Here we propose driving magnon insulator with an electromagnetic field show that this causes edge mode instabilities large...
Directional transport is obtained in various multimode systems by driving multiple, nonreciprocally interfering interactions between individual bosonic modes. However, sustaining the required number of modes become physically complex. In our microwave-optomechanical experiment, we show how to configure nonreciprocal frequency components a single superconducting cavity coupled two drumhead oscillators. The are promoted Floquet and generate missing dimension realize an isolator directional...
Quantum mechanics imposes a limit on the precision of continuous position measurement harmonic oscillator, due to backaction arising from quantum fluctuations in field.

With the exquisite level of control offered by state-of-the-art computers, we show one can go further implement a wide class Floquet Hamiltonians, or timedependent Hamiltonians in general. We then single-qubit version these models IBM Quantum Experience experimentally realize temporal Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang Chern insulator. From our data infer...
Both non-Hermitian systems and the behaviour of emitters coupled to structured baths have been studied intensely in recent years. Here we study interplay these paradigmatic settings. In a series examples, show that single quantum emitter bath displays number unconventional behaviours, many without Hermitian counterpart. We first consider unidirectional hopping lattice whose complex dispersion forms loop. identify peculiar bound states inside loop as manifestation skin effect. same setting,...

A cornerstone assumption that most literature on discrete time crystals has relied is homogeneous Floquet systems generally heat to a featureless infinite temperature state, an expectation motivated researchers in the field mostly focus many-body localized systems. Some works have however shown standard diagnostics for crystallinity apply equally well clean settings without disorder. This fact raises question whether crystal possible which originally expected heating evaded. Studying both...

Our method provides an intuitive way...
The fundamental question of how information spreads in closed quantum many-body systems is often addressed through the lens bipartite entanglement entropy, a quantity that describes correlations comprehensive (nonlocal) way. Among most striking features entropy are its unbounded linear growth thermodynamic limit, asymptotic extensivity finite-size systems, and possibility measurement-induced phase transitions, all which have no obvious classical counterpart. Here, we show these key...
Most experiments with ultracold atoms in optical lattices have contact interactions and therefore operate at high densities of around one atom per site to observe the effect strong interactions. Strong ranged can be generated via Rydberg dressing, which opens up path exploring physics few interacting particles. Rather than unit cells a crystal, sites lattice now interpreted as discretized space. This allows study completely new types problems familiar architecture. We investigate possibility...

Understanding thermalization in quantum many-body systems is among the most enduring problems modern physics. A particularly interesting question concerns role played by mechanics this process, i.e., whether fundamentally different from that classical and, if so, which of its features are genuinely quantum. Here, we study minimally structured only constrained to have local interactions, random circuits. In particular, introduce permutation circuits (RPCs), comprising gates locally permute...

By deriving rigorous lower bound on average entropy such postmeasurement states, we prove that macroscopic long-ranged is above some constant critical depth in several natural classes circuit architectures, which include brickwork circuits and holographic tensor networks. This behavior had been conjectured based previous works,...
