Quantum simulation of superexchange magnetism in linear ion crystals

Abstract: We present a system for the simulation of Heisenberg models with spins s = 1 2 and s = 1 with a linear crystal of trapped ions. We show that the laser-ion interaction induces a Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard interaction between the atomic V-type level structure and the two phonon species. In the strong-coupling regime the collective atom and phonon excitations become localized at each lattice site and form an effective spin system with varying length. We show that the quantum-mechanical superexchange interaction caus… Show more

“…For example, spin models with higher spin length may exhibit novel topological phases described by a hidden order parameter [1]. Moreover, various strongly interacting spin-boson systems can be mapped onto coupled spin models [2][3][4]. Apart from the methods used to solve analytically various spin-1/2 systems, in general, models with s > 1/2 are highly complex and do not permit analytical treatment.…”

“…The desired Jahn-Teller coupling can be realized by the interaction of the spins with an oscillating magnetic field gradient [11,12]. Alternative realization of the Jahn-Teller coupling is based on the interaction of the ions with laser beams propagating in two orthogonal directions tuned near the respective red and blue sidebands [19]. The ion trap based realization of the cJT model offers unique opportunity to easy tuning the parametric regime of the couplings by adjusting for example the trap frequencies and the laser intensity.…”
