Long-range interacting quantum systems

Interactions are what makes large quantum systems challenging to understand and promising for applications. Some of the most advanced quantum hardware, including trapped ions and Rydberg atoms, feature interactions that fall off with distance as a power law. Our group has made dramatic progress in understanding the exotic dynamical and static properties of such long-range-interacting systems and has discovered numerous applications of these systems. However, much more remains to be understood and discovered. We are also interested in a related topic of quantum routing, i.e. permuting quantum information stored in different qubits.
