Scalar Electrodynamics with Configurable Rydberg Atoms Arrays?
ORAL
Abstract
We present a quantum Hamiltonian for scalar electrodynamics in one and two spatial dimensions where
the electric field Hilbert space is approximated by a spin-1 triplet. We propose two different quantum
simulators for this model obtained by assembling arrays of Rydberg atoms with ladder structures.
We compare observables associated with the real-time evolution of (small) systems for the simulators and the
target model. Discussions with the QuEra team regarding building the simulators using their facilities have
started and we report on the progress of this enterprise at the time of the conference. We discuss
possible applications involving phase transitions and finite size scaling for this model and other models
based on quantum links.
