Quantum Coarsening and Collective Dynamics on a Programmable Quantum Simulator

Explore a 48-minute QuICS lecture examining collective quantum dynamics and nonequilibrium many-body systems through experimental studies using Rydberg atom arrays. Delve into the observation of correlation growth through antiferromagnetically ordered domain coarsening across a (2+1)D Ising quantum phase transition. Learn how domain boundary curvature drives coarsening processes and discover the relationship between dynamics acceleration and quantum critical point proximity. Examine the observation of long-lived order parameter oscillations corresponding to amplitude Higgs modes, gaining valuable insights into emergent collective dynamics in strongly correlated quantum systems and nonequilibrium quantum processes.
