Universal Dynamics with Globally Controlled Analog Quantum Simulators
- 通过全局脉冲控制实现通用量子计算的充要条件
- 实验实现三体相互作用与对称保护拓扑边缘模式
- 适用于超冷原子等现代平台,适合量子信息前沿研究
具有全局控制场的模拟量子模拟器已成为探索复杂量子现象的强大平台。尽管如此,一个基本的理论问题仍未解决:在仅使用全局脉冲控制的情况下,这类系统能实现多大程度的通用量子动力学?本文建立了仅依赖全局脉冲控制实现通用量子计算的必要且充分条件,证明了广泛类别的模拟量子模拟器实际上具备通用性。我们进一步将该框架扩展至费米子和玻色子系统,包括超冷原子在光晶格中的现代平台。此外,由随机全局脉冲驱动的模拟器表现出与随机酉电路相当的信息搅动;在双组分中性原子阵列中,测量结果在 $\log N$ 时间尺度上出现反集中现象,即便仅有时间随机性,也为高效随机性生成提供了可能。为连接理论与实验现实,我们提出“直接量子最优控制”框架,可在包含真实硬件约束的前提下合成复杂有效哈密顿量。利用此方法,我们在瑞利-原子阵列上实验实现了阻塞区外的三体相互作用,并展示了拓扑动力学。实验测量揭示了对称保护拓扑边缘模式的动力学特征,证实了该方法的表达能力与可行性。本工作为超越原生硬件哈密顿量的量子模拟开辟新路径,支持有效多体相互作用的工程化,推动了全局控制模拟平台在量子信息处理中的前沿发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Analog quantum simulators with global control fields have emerged as powerful platforms for exploring complex quantum phenomena. Despite these advances, a fundamental theoretical question remains unresolved: to what extent can such systems realize universal quantum dynamics under global control? Here we establish a necessary and sufficient condition for universal quantum computation using only global pulse control, proving that a broad class of analog quantum simulators is, in fact, universal. We further extend this framework to fermionic and bosonic systems, including modern platforms such as ultracold atoms in optical superlattices. Moreover, we observe that analog simulators driven by random global pulses exhibit information scrambling comparable to random unitary circuits. In a dual-species neutral-atom array setup, the measurement outcomes anti-concentrate on a $\log N$ timescale despite the presence of only temporal randomness, opening opportunities for efficient randomness generation. To bridge theoretical possibility with experimental reality, we introduce \emph{direct quantum optimal control}, a control framework that enables the synthesis of complex effective Hamiltonians while incorporating realistic hardware constraints. Using this approach, we experimentally engineer three-body interactions outside the blockade regime and demonstrate topological dynamics on a Rydberg-atom array. Experimental measurements reveal dynamical signatures of symmetry-protected-topological edge modes, confirming both the expressivity and feasibility of our method. Our work opens a new avenue for quantum simulation beyond native hardware Hamiltonians, enabling the engineering of effective multi-body interactions and advancing the frontier of quantum information processing with globally-controlled analog platforms.
