Random Unitaries in a Rapid Optical Lattice Simulator
Quantum information theory points to new ways of classifying matter. Instead of focusing on microscopic correlation functions, it hinges on global properties of quantum states such as the presence and scaling of entanglement entropy. This general strategy relates systems of vastly different scales, for example black hole physics to information propagation in microscopic quantum systems. UniRand will realize a new, widely applicable approach to measuring global quantum state properties using ultracold atoms. At the heart of the protocol are random unitary transformations, which are applied to a quantum state before measurement. The fluctuating outcomes of measurements under random…
