The transverse-field Ising model is a fundamental quantum spin system that captures the competition between quantum fluctuations and interactions, playing a central role in studies of quantum phase transitions and non-equilibrium dynamics. However, classical computations of ground and excited states in large-scale or high-dimensional systems are severely limited by the exponential growth of the Hilbert space. Here, we propose a novel approach using a D-Wave quantum annealer, where a triangular-wave oscillating magnetic field is applied to induce Rabi oscillations, allowing the estimation of energy gaps between the ground and excited states. Unlike conventional quantum annealing methods limited to ground-state searches, this approach can directly access excited-state information. It is potentially applicable to larger systems, providing a new avenue for quantum-device-based simulation. The validity of the method is demonstrated through numerical simulations of relatively small systems.
The transient regime of far-from-equilibrium quantum many-body dynamics lacks the established organizing principles that universality and scaling provide in equilibrium. It is least understood for two-dimensional short-range interacting systems, where mean-field arguments are not expected to hold, controlled theoretica...

How quantum matter relaxes far from equilibrium is a central open problem in many-body physics, and one for which analog quantum simulators are well positioned to move from confirming theory to discovering new physics. Here, we use a two-dimensional Rydberg atom array of 256 qubits to map the relaxation landscape of th...

We investigate the ground-state properties and quantum critical behavior of a non-Hermitian transverse-field Ising chain subjected to longitudinal and complex transverse magnetic fields. To address this interacting many-body problem, we employ real-valued neural quantum states based on Restricted Boltzmann Machines (RB...

Programmable quantum annealers can realize real-time dynamics of frustrated transverse-field Ising models on large, nontrivial graphs. Recent work by King et al. argued that the classical simulation of such experiments would require exponential computational resources for classical methods such as tensor networks and n...
Qubit coherence is an essential figure of merit for quantum information processing applications such as quantum computing, or quantum repeaters. Understanding the coherence properties of the underlying physical qubits that facilitate such applications is therefore are often limited by coupling to lattice phonons, which...

Probability backflow is investigated for charged spin-$1/2$ particles in a uniform magnetic field within the lowest-Landau-level approximation. While single-mode Landau states exhibit only weak and non-robust backflow, it is shown that two-mode interference gives rise to negative probability flux in both the Schr\"odin...
