Kibble-Zurek exponent and chiral transition of the period-4 phase of Rydberg chains

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, Frédéric Mila, , , | Summary: Chains of Rydberg atoms have emerged as an amazing playground to study quantum physics in 1D. Playing with inter-atomic distances and laser detuning, one can in particular explore the commensurate-incommensurate transition out of charge-density waves through the Kibble-Zurek mechanism, […]
