چکیده
We show how a quantum Ising spin chain in a time-dependent transverse magnetic field can be simulated and experimentally probed in the framework of circuit QED with current technology. The proposed setup provides a new platform for observing the nonequilibrium dynamics of interacting many-body systems. We calculate its spectrum to offer a guideline for its initial experimental characterization. We demonstrate that quench dynamics and the propagation of localized excitations can be observed with the proposed setup and discuss further possible applications and modifications of this circuit QED quantum simulator.

High order perturbation study of the frustrated quantum Ising chain
In this paper, using high order perturbative series expansion method, the critical exponents of the order parameter and susceptibility in transition from ferromagnetic to disordered phases for 1D quantum Ising model in transverse field, with ferromagnetic nearest neighbor and anti-ferromagnetic next to nearest neighbor interactions, are calculated. It is found that for small value of the frustr...
متن کاملDetection mechanism for quantum phase transition in superconducting qubit array
We describe a mechanism to detect quantum phase transition QPT in a system by a coherent probe weakly coupled to it. We illustrate this mechanism by a circuit QED architecture where a superconducting Josephson junction qubit array interacts with a one-dimensional superconducting transmission line resonator TLR . The superconducting qubit array is modeled as an Ising chain in transverse field. O...
متن کاملScaling behaviour of the relaxation in quantum chains
We consider the nonequilibrium time evolution of the transverse magnetization in the critical Ising and XX quantum chains. For some inhomogeneously magnetized initial states we derive analytically the transverse magnetization profiles and show that they evolve into scaling forms in the long-time limit. In particular it is seen that the Ising chain exhibits some similarities with the conserved d...
متن کاملNonequilibrium Steady State in a Quantum System: One-Dimensional Transverse Ising Model with Energy Current
We study the nonequilibrium steady states of an Ising chain in a transverse field h by investigating the effect of a field l, which drives the current of energy. The zero-temperature, h-l phase diagram is determined exactly, and it is found that the energy current appears continuously above a threshold l . lcshd. The long-range magnetic order (present for h , hc , l , lc) is destroyed in the cu...

The quantum dynamics of a charged particle in an infinite chain of single-state quantum wells, in tight-binding approximation and under the action of an arbitrary time-dependent external field is investigated. The connection between the Hamiltonian description of this model and the Hamiltonian of a discrete-charge mesoscopic quantum circuit is elucidated. Based on this connection, the persist...
