Analog Quantum Simulation of Non-equilibrium Dynamics in a Frustrated System
ORAL
Abstract
In the past few years, analog quantum platforms have proven to be viable testbeds for the study of many-body quantum systems such as their ground states, phase diagrams, as well as probing non-equilibrium and quench dynamics. One particularly important non-equilibrium phenomenon is the Kibble-Zurek mechanism (KZM), which quantifies the generation of topological defects as a system is driven across a continuous phase transition. KZM has been experimentally studied in several 1D and 2D models, and in this work we continue the search for KZM in frustrated lattices, even in the presence of a first-order cutoff using analog quantum devices, thus enriching our understanding of frustrated spin models and their non-equilibrium behavior.
