Emulation of energy transfer processes in natural systems on quantum platforms can further our understanding of complex dynamics in nature. One notable example is the demonstration of vibrationally assisted energy transfer (VAET) on a trapped-ion quantum emulator, which offers insights for the energetics of light harvesting. In this work, we expand the study of VAET simulation with trapped ions to a non-Hermitian quantum system comprising a -symmetric chromophore dimer weakly coupled to a vibrational mode. We first characterize exceptional points (EPs) and non-Hermitian...

We test the performance of self-consistent GW and several representative implementations of vertex-corrected G0W0 (G0W0Γ). These approaches are tested on benchmark data sets covering full valence spectra (first ionization potentials and some inner valence shell excitations). For small molecules, when comparing against state-of-the-art wave function techniques, our results show that full self-consistency in the GW scheme either systematically outperforms vertex-corrected G...

We propose and analyze a protocol for stabilizing a maximally entangled state of two noninteracting qubits using active state-dependent feedback from a continuous two-qubit half-parity measurement in coordination with a concurrent, noncommuting dynamical decoupling drive. We demonstrate that such a drive can be simultaneous with the measurement and feedback, while also playing a key part in the feedback protocol itself. We show that robust stabilization with near-unit fidelity can be achieved even in the presence of realistic nonidealities, such as time delay in the feedback loop,...

Electron superlattices allow the engineering of correlated and topological quantum phenomena. The recent emergence of moiré superlattices in two-dimensional heterostructures has led to exciting discoveries related to quantum phenomena. However, the requirement for the moiré pattern poses stringent limitations, and its potential cannot be switched on and off. Here, we demonstrate remote engineering and on/off switching of correlated states in bilayer graphene. Employing a remote Coulomb superlattice realized by localized electrons in twisted bilayer WS2, we...
