Quantum Simulation of Energy Transport with Rydberg Atoms — •Sayali Shevate1, Tobias Wintermantel1,2, Yibo Wang1, and Shannon Whitlock1,2 — 1Institut de physique et de chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg (IPCMS), University of Strasbourg, France 67200 — 2Physikalisches Institut, Universität Heidelberg, Im Neuenheimer Feld 226, 69120 Heidelberg
The transport of charge, energy and information is fundamental to the behavior of electronic materials, complex molecules (e.g. light harvesting complexes like Fenna-Matthews-Olson (FMO)) and information networks. Yet, it is still largely unknown which underlying properties of the system lead to the most efficient or robust transport, especially in the presence of quantum effects. Ultracold atoms excited to Rydberg states possessing strong dipolar interactions provide a unique platform for studying fundamental energy transport processes in a fully controllable environment. We propose a novel experimental system for exciting Rydberg atoms in tailored geometries capable of simulating energy transport with almost full control over spatially and temporally correlated disorder. This will provide a route to address how excitations migrate through quantum many-body system possessing non-trivial correlations and how spatially and temporally correlated noise can enhance the robustness and efficiency of energy transport in synthetic quantum systems.
