Quantum Dot Fermi-Hubbard Emulators
We propose to use semiconductor quantum dot arrays as a well-controlled model system for emulating the Fermi-Hubbard Hamiltonian. In its simplest form, this Hamiltonian contains just two terms, describing hopping of fermions between adjacent sites in a lattice and an interaction energy for two fermions to occupy the same site. Despite its simplicity, this Hamiltonian produces a wealth of many-body physics phenomena, from exotic forms of magnetism to superconductivity. Their intricate quantum correlations make simulation on conventional computers exponentially difficult. This has motivated the use of model systems such as ultra-cold atoms to emulate Fermi-Hubbard physics. The in-situ…
