Observation of conformal field theory spectra in a quantum simulator

Conformal field theories (CFTs) feature prominently in high-energy physics1,2, statistical mechanics3 and condensed matter4, 5–6. For example, CFTs govern emergent universal properties of systems tuned to quantum phase transitions4,7, including their entanglement, correlations and low-energy excitation spectra. Much of...

Practical Roadmap to Measurement-Altered Criticality in Rydberg Arrays.

Weak measurements have been predicted to dramatically alter universal properties of quantum critical wave functions, though experimental validation remains an open problem. Here we devise a practical scheme for realizing measurement-altered criticality in a chain of Rydberg atoms tuned to Ising and tricritical Ising ph...
