  • Quantum simulation of an extended Dicke model with a magnetic solid

    The Dicke model describes the cooperative interaction of an ensemble of two-level atoms with a single-mode photonic field and exhibits a quantum phase transition as a function of light–matter coupling strength. Extending this model by incorporating short-range atom–atom interactions makes the problem intractable but is expected to produce new physical phenomena and phases. Here, we simulate such an extended Dicke model using a crystal of ErFeO3, where the role of atoms (photons) is played by Er3+ spins (Fe3+ magnons). Through terahertz spectroscopy and magnetocaloric effect measurements as a function of temperature and magnetic field, we demonstrated the existence of a novel atomically ordered phase in addition to the superradiant and normal phases that are expected from the standard Dicke model. Further, we elucidated the nature of the phase boundaries in the temperature–magnetic-field phase diagram, identifying both first-order and second-order phase transitions. These results lay the foundation for studying multiatomic quantum optics models using well-characterized many-body solid-state systems.

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Some of the most exotic properties of the quantum vacuum are predicted in ultrastrongly coupled photon–atom systems; one such property is quantum squeezing leading to suppressed quantum fluctuations of photons and atoms. This squeezing is unique because (1) it is realized in the ground state of the system and does not require external driving, and (2) the squeezing can be perfect in the sense that quantum fluctuations of certain observables are completely suppressed. Specifically, we investigate the ground state of the Dicke model, which describes atoms collectively coupled to a single photonic mode, and we found that the photon–atom fluctuation vanishes at the onset of the superradiant phase transition in the thermodynamic limit of an infinite number of atoms. Moreover, when a finite number of atoms is considered, the variance of the fluctuation around the critical point asymptotically converges to zero, as the number of atoms is increased. In contrast to the squeezed states of flying photons obtained using standard generation protocols with external driving, the squeezing obtained in the ground state of the ultrastrongly coupled photon–atom systems is resilient against unpredictable noise.</jats:p>

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Exotic quantum vacuum phenomena are predicted in cavity quantum electrodynamics systems with ultrastrong light-matter interactions. Their ground states are predicted to be vacuum squeezed states with suppressed quantum fluctuations owing to antiresonant terms in the Hamiltonian. However, such predictions have not been realized because antiresonant interactions are typically negligible compared to resonant interactions in light-matter systems. Here we report an unusual, ultrastrongly coupled matter-matter system of magnons that is analytically described by a unique Hamiltonian in which the relative importance of resonant and antiresonant interactions can be easily tuned and the latter can be made vastly dominant. We found a regime where vacuum Bloch-Siegert shifts, the hallmark of antiresonant interactions, greatly exceed analogous frequency shifts from resonant interactions. Further, we theoretically explored the system’s ground state and calculated up to 5.9 dB of quantum fluctuation suppression. These observations demonstrate that magnonic systems provide an ideal platform for exploring exotic quantum vacuum phenomena predicted in ultrastrongly coupled light-matter systems.</jats:p>

  • Phase transition of environment for overcoming the trade-off between controlling and protecting quantum states

    In order to push the frontier of quantum technologies into the real societies, we try to establish a strategy for overcoming the trade-off between controlling and protecting quantum states. In contrast to the conventional way relying on the suppression of decoherence sources in fabrication processes, we artificially cause a phase transition of environment incorporating the decoherence sources, which are expected to be pinned by a spontaneously appeared field and an engineered energy gap in the environment, while keeping quantum-bits unchanged.

    熱平衡下の量子スクイージング（量子ゆらぎの抑制）の世界初観測を目指して，本研究では，その観測に最適な物質の探索と設計を理論的に実施する．
    量子スクイージングはレーザー光と非線形光学結晶などを用いた非平衡ダイナミックスによって生成され，観測手法も確立され，現在の量子科学技術の基盤となっている．しかし，非平衡下の量子スクイージングはデコヒーレンス（ノイズ）によって容易に減退してしまう．一方，熱平衡下の量子スクイージングは系の最も安定な状態で得られることから，いかなるデコヒーレンスに対しても堅牢であり，非平衡ダイナミクスに基づいて発展してきた量子科学技術を大きく変革・転換させ，これまでに比べて根本的に安定な量子科学技術の基盤となる潜在性を有している．しかしながら，熱平衡下の量子スクイージングはいまだ実験的に観測された例がない．
    現在，研究協力者らと共に，京都大学およびアメリカRice大学において，量子ゆらぎの測定装置を構築中である．それらと並行して，熱平衡下の量子スクイージングを観測するために最も適した物質を本研究によって理論的に探索・設計することで，熱平衡下の量子スクイージングの世界初観測を試みる．
