Journal ArticleDOI
Effective quantum spin systems with trapped ions.
Diego Porras,J. I. Cirac +1 more
TL;DR: This work shows that the physical system consisting of trapped ions interacting with lasers may undergo a rich variety of quantum phase transitions, and allows for an analogue quantum simulator of spin systems with trapped ions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulating a quantum magnet with trapped ions
TL;DR: In this paper, the quantum spin Hamiltonians with trapped ions were simulated and it was shown that the transition is not driven by thermal fluctuations but is of quantum-mechanical origin, analogous to quantum fluctuations in quantum phase transitions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Density matrix renormalization group and periodic boundary conditions: a quantum information perspective.
TL;DR: A picture is introduced to analyze the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) numerical method from a quantum information perspective which leads to a variational formulation of DMRG which allows for dramatic improvements in the case of problems with periodic boundary conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental quantum simulations of many-body physics with trapped ions
TL;DR: An overview of different trapping techniques of ions as well as implementations for coherent manipulation of their quantum states and current approaches for scaling up to more ions and more-dimensional systems are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polariton dynamics and Bose-Einstein condensation in semiconductor microcavities
TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model that describes the polariton dynamics in a semiconductor microcavity at large densities, for the case of nonresonant excitation, is presented.
