Descrizione
In recent years, experiments using cold atoms in Rydberg states have emerged as a powerful platform for the quantum simulation of condensed matter Hamiltonians with extended-range interactions (ERI). This perspective for experimental realization has led to strong cross-fertilization between atomic and condensed matter physics, with considerable theoretical work being dedicated to the study of ERI Hamiltonians. As a result, several interesting equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium scenarios have been discovered in this kind of system.
I will present my numerical results for two classes of ERI Hamiltonians: namely, i) the determination [1] of the phase diagram of the Fendley-Sengupta-Sachdev model (recently realized via quantum simulation in Rydberg atom experiments) in the so-called doubly-blockaded regime, where the critical behavior of the system is still not fully understood, and ii) the demonstration of a phase transition between two supersolid states in an extended Bose-Hubbard model, whose interactions are of interest for experiments with atoms in Rydberg-dressed states.
