Simulating a two component Bose-Hubbard model with imbalanced hopping in a Rydberg tweezer array (2312.14846v2)
Abstract: Optical tweezer arrays of neutral atoms provide a versatile platform for quantum simulation due to the range of interactions and Hamiltonians that can be realized and explored. We propose to simulate a two-component Bose-Hubbard model with power-law hopping using arrays of multilevel Rydberg atoms featuring resonant dipolar interactions. The diversity of states that can be used to encode the local Hilbert space of the Bose-Hubbard model enables control of the relative hopping rate of each component and even the realization of spin-flip hopping. We use numerical simulations to show how multilevel Rydberg atoms provide an opportunity to explore the diverse non-equilibrium quench dynamics of the model. For example, we demonstrate a separation of the relaxation timescales of effective spin and charge degrees of freedom, and observe regimes of slow relaxation when the effective hopping rates of the two components are vastly different due to dynamical constraints arising from hardcore boson interactions. We discuss prospects for studying these effects in state-of-the-art Rydberg tweezer arrays.

- Operationally, this is achieved by using a ring geometry and artificially defining rijsubscript𝑟𝑖𝑗r_{ij}italic_r start_POSTSUBSCRIPT italic_i italic_j end_POSTSUBSCRIPT as the arc length between site i𝑖iitalic_i and j𝑗jitalic_j to mimic 1111D. The former aspect is motivated by a recent experimental realization of periodic boundaries with tweezers Scholl et al. (2022).

- Note that there is an ambiguity of labelling lattice sites in squeezed space due to the periodic boundary conditions. We choose to always specify site 1111 relative to a fixed location in the full spatial lattice.
