Coherent control over the high-dimensional space of the nuclear spin of alkaline-earth atoms

We demonstrate coherent manipulation of the nuclear degrees of freedom of ultracold ground-state strontium-87 atoms, thus providing a toolkit for fully exploiting the corresponding large Hilbert space as a quantum resource and for quantum simulation experiments with 𝔰u(𝑁)-symmetric matter.

Method to discriminate between localized and chaotic quantum systems

We study whether a generic isolated quantum system initially set out of equilibrium can be considered as localized close to its initial state. Our approach considers the time evolution in the Krylov basis, which maps the dynamics onto that of a particle moving in a one-dimensional lattice where both the energy in the lattice sites and the tunneling from one lattice site to the next are inhomogeneous.
