Researchers Push Boundaries of Quantum Simulation With Novel Photonic Chip




USTC researchers created a groundbreaking on-chip photonic simulator, leveraging thin-film lithium niobate chips to simplify quantum simulations of complex structures, achieving high-dimensional synthetic dimensions with reduced frequency demands.

A research team led by Prof. Chuanfeng Li from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) has made a significant breakthrough in quantum photonics. The team successfully developed an on-chip photonic simulator capable of modeling arbitrary-range coupled frequency lattices with gauge potential. This achievement was detailed in a recent publication in Physical Review Letters.

Quantum physics has long sought effective simulators to replicate the behavior of complex systems, a pursuit critical for advancing our understanding of fundamental phenomena. Photonic systems have emerged as strong contenders for quantum simulation due to their capacity to control properties such as polarization and frequency. However, simulating intricate structures, such as atomic chains and nanotubes key to exploring low-dimensional materials has remained a formidable challenge. This new development represents a major step forward in addressing this complexity.

Leveraging Thin-Film Lithium Niobate Chips

To address this challenge, the team’s innovative approach involves the use of thin-film lithium niobate chips, which are particularly suited for creating lattices in the frequency domain due to their high electro-optic coefficient. By periodically modulating an on-chip resonator, the researchers observed band structures, a significant advancement as it allows for the simulation of structures with arbitrary-range coupling.

Remarkably, their method enabled coupling up to 8 and 9 times the lattice constant while reducing the required modulation frequency by over five orders of magnitude. This is achieved by including multiple lattice points within one resonant peak, which alleviates the difficulty of applying and detecting multi-harmonic signals conventionally of ultrahigh frequency on chips.

Innovative Low-Frequency Modulation

In this study, the special focus on low-frequency radio-frequency modulation offers a high degree of flexibility in choosing lattice points and regulating compound interaction. This approach significantly reduces the required frequencies by more than three orders of magnitude, translating to a reduction from near 100 GHz to around 10 MHz in their examples. This not only simplifies the design and fabrication challenges but also lessens the demands on source and measurement equipment.

This work not only greatly alleviates the difficulties posed by high frequencies in on-chip synthetic dimensions but also maintains the scalability of traditional implementation methods, allowing it to be extended to higher-dimensional models. It achieves high-dimensional and complex frequency synthetic dimensions on thin-film lithium niobate optical chips. The reviewers highly praised the achievement, stating it “opens a new avenue within the area of studying synthetic dimensions on photonic chips.”

Freezing light? Italian scientists froze fastest thing in universe, here’s how

In a rare occurrence, physics made it possible to control the fastest travelling element - light. Italian scientists have managed to freeze the light, as per reports. A recent study published in a British weekly journal reportedly revealed that light can exhibit ‘ supersolid behavior ’ a unique state of matter that flows without friction while retaining a solid-like structure. The research, led by Antonio Gianfate from CNR Nanotec and Davide Nigro from the University of Pavia, marks a significant step in understanding supersolidity in light. The scientists described their findings as “just the beginning” of this exploration, as per reports. In what can be termed as ‘manipulating photons under controlled quantum conditions ’, the scientists demonstrated that light, too, can exhibit this behaviour. (A photon is a bundle of electromagnetic energy which is massless, and travel at the speed of light) How did scientists freeze light? As we know, freezing involves lowering a liquid’s tempera...

Physicists observe a new form of magnetism for the first time

MIT physicists have demonstrated a new form of magnetism that could one day be harnessed to build faster, denser, and less power-hungry " spintronic " memory chips. The new magnetic state is a mash-up of two main forms of magnetism: the ferromagnetism of everyday fridge magnets and compass needles, and antiferromagnetism, in which materials have magnetic properties at the microscale yet are not macroscopically magnetized. Now, the MIT team has demonstrated a new form of magnetism , termed "p-wave magnetism." Physicists have long observed that electrons of atoms in regular ferromagnets share the same orientation of "spin," like so many tiny compasses pointing in the same direction. This spin alignment generates a magnetic field, which gives a ferromagnet its inherent magnetism. Electrons belonging to magnetic atoms in an antiferromagnet also have spin, although these spins alternate, with electrons orbiting neighboring atoms aligning their spins antiparalle...
