Hamiltonian reconstruction via ringdown dynamics

Published 29 Feb 2024 in cond-mat.mes-hall | (2403.00102v1)

Abstract: Many experimental techniques aim at determining the Hamiltonian of a given system. The Hamiltonian describes the system's evolution in the absence of dissipation, and is often central to control or interpret an experiment. Here, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate a method for Hamiltonian reconstruction from measurements over a large area of phase space, overcoming the main limitation of previous techniques. A crucial ingredient for our method is the presence of dissipation, which enables sampling of the Hamiltonian through ringdown-type measurements. We apply the method to a driven-dissipative system -- a parametric oscillator -- observed in a rotating frame, and reconstruct the (quasi-)Hamiltonian of the system. Furthermore, we demonstrate that our method provides direct experimental access to the so-called symplectic norm of the stationary states of the system, which is tied to the particle- or hole-like nature of excitations of these states. In this way, we establish a method to unveil qualitative differences between the fluctuations around stabilized minima and maxima of the nonlinear out-of-equilibrium stationary states. Our method constitutes a versatile approach to characterize a wide class of driven-dissipative systems.
