Simulating Nonlinear Dynamics of Collective Spins via Quantum Measurement and Feedback

Abstract: We study a method to simulate quantum many-body dynamics of spin ensembles using measurement-based feedback. By performing a weak collective measurement on a large ensemble of two-level quantum systems and applying global rotations conditioned on the measurement outcome, one can simulate the dynamics of a mean-field quantum kicked top, a standard paradigm of quantum chaos. We analytically show that there exists a regime in which individual quantum trajectories adequately recover the classical limit, and show t… Show more

“…Understanding back-action as a control resource leads to further interesting possibilities like feedback-induced quantum phase transitions due to the continuous monitoring process itself [85]. Also, continuous measurement and feedback open up certain simulation abilities, as has recently been shown in an atomic system [86].…”

“…As a paradigmatic model for both theoretical [7][8][9][10][11][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78] and experimental [79][80][81][82] studies of quantum chaos, the kicked top model consists of a larger spin with total angular momentum j whose dynamics is captured by the following Hamiltonian (throughout this work, h = 1) [10,71]:…”

“…The framework should be applicable to strongly correlated quantum materials, such as non-Hermitian exciton-polariton condensates [64,65] that are open and operated under extreme conditions. We aim to impose as little structure as possible on the allowed evolution beyond preserving the Hermitian symmetry, positive semi-definiteness, and trace of the density matrix X. Stochastic nonlinearity, [43,44,54] including projective measurement with postselection [66][67][68][69][70][71] and weak continuous measurement, [72][73][74][75] is known to be a useful resource, but is not considered here. [76] Therefore, we restrict ourselves to deterministic nonlinear positive trace-preserving (PTP) channels.…”
