Density-density correlation analysis is a convenient diagnostic tool to reveal the hidden order in the strongly correlated phases of ultracold atoms. We report on a study of the density-density correlations of ultracold bosonic atoms which were initially prepared in a Mott insulator (MI) state in one-dimensional optical lattices. For the atomic gases released from the deep optical lattice, we extracted the normalized density-density correlation function from the atomic density distributions of freely expanded atomic clouds.

Hong-Ou-Mandel interference is an intrinsic quantum phenomenon that goes beyond the possibilities of classical physics, and enables numerous applications in quantum information science. While the photon-photon interaction is fundamentally limited to the bosonic nature of photons and the restricted phase responses from commonly used unitary optical elements, we present that a nonunitary material provides an alternative degree of freedom to control the two-photon quantum interference, even revealing anomalous quantum interference paths that do not exist in a unitary configuration. An elaborate lossy multilayer graphene that can work as a nonunitary beam splitter is used to explore its tunability over the effective photon-photon interaction in spatial modes, and to verify the particle exchange statistics by its experimental implementation in quantum state filter.

We present a quantum algorithm based on the generalized quantum master equation (GQME) approach to simulate open quantum system dynamics on noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) computers. This approach overcomes the limitations of the Lindblad equation, which assumes weak system-bath coupling and Markovity, by providing a rigorous derivation of the equations of motion for any subset of elements of the reduced density matrix. The memory kernel resulting from the effect of the remaining degrees of freedom is used as input to calculate the corresponding non-unitary propagator.

We present a first-principles approach to electronic many-body systems strongly coupled to cavity modes in terms of matter-photon one-body reduced density matrices. The theory is fundamentally nonperturbative and thus captures not only the effects of correlated electronic systems but accounts also for strong interactions between matter and photon degrees of freedom. We do so by introducing a higher-dimensional auxiliary system that maps the coupled fermion-boson system to a dressed fermionic problem.

We describe the quantum phase transition in the -state chiral clock model in spatial dimension . With couplings chosen to preserve time-reversal and spatial inversion symmetries, such a model is in the universality class of recent experimental studies of the ordering of pumped Rydberg states in a one-dimensional chain of trapped ultracold alkali atoms. For such couplings and , the clock model is expected to have a direct phase transition from a gapped phase with a broken global symmetry, to a gapped phase with the symmetry restored.
