Efficient Simulation of Nonreciprocal Many-body Physics via Quantum Feedback
Abstract
arXiv:2609.02518
We present a scheme to efficiently simulate nonreciprocal many-body spin models using a non-Markovian open system. Our scheme utilizes a single quantum emitter coupled to a waveguide mode that is fed back to the same emitter after a time delay. With this coherent delayed feedback, an effective nonreciprocal interaction can be engineered, wherein the emitter at earlier times affects itself at later times, creating a scalable spin chain. We show that all the steady-state quantities of such spin models can be accessed through measurement of the emitter and the output field. Furthermore, using classical feedback that resets the emitter, quench dynamics from arbitrary product states can be simulated. We demonstrate striking features of nonreciprocal models, such as the Liouvillian skin effect, anomalous relaxation dynamics, and quasi-long-range order of output photons. Finally, we show that the proposal is amenable to experimental realization and robust to imperfections. Our work establishes a feasible way to scale up a nonreciprocal many-body system, and provides a new route towards generation of exotic states of light.
