Analog-Digital Quantum Simulations with Trapped Ions

POSTER

Abstract

Quantum simulators combining Hamiltonian evolution with gate operations represent a powerful approach towards probing many-body physics with NISQ devices. We apply a platform based on a linear chain of trapped 171Yb+ ions to demonstrate some of the uses of this hybrid strategy, such as characterizing slow correlation growth arising from Stark many-body localization, certifying quantum many-body chaos, and studying non-equilibrium criticality in quench dynamics.
