Enhancement of chiral edge currents in ($d$+1)-dimensional atomic Mott-band hybrid insulators
We consider the effect of a local interatomic repulsion on synthetic heterostructures where a discrete synthetic dimension is created by Raman processes on top of SU(N) S U ( N ) -symmetric two-dimensional lattice systems. At a filling of one fermion per site, increasing the interaction strength, the system is driven towards a Mott state which is adiabatically connected to a band insulator. The chiral currents associated with the synthetic magnetic field increase all the way to the Mott transition, where they reach the maximum value, and they remain finite in the whole insulating state. The transition towards the Mott-band insulator is associated with the opening of a gap within the low-energy quasiparticle peak, while a mean-field picture is recovered deep in the insulating state.

Mechanism of superconductivity in the Hubbard model at intermediate interaction strength
We study the fluctuations responsible for pairing in the d -wave superconducting state of the two-dimensional Hubbard model at intermediate coupling within a cluster dynamical mean-field theory with a numerically exact quantum impurity solver. By analyzing how momentum- and frequency-dependent fluctuations generate the d -wave superconducting state in different representations, we identify antiferromagnetic fluctuations as the pairing glue of superconductivity in both the underdoped and the overdoped regime. Nevertheless, in the intermediate coupling regime, the predominant magnetic fluctuations may differ significantly from those described by conventional spin fluctuation theory.

Fluctuations analysis of spin susceptibility: Néel ordering revisited in dynamical mean field theory
Here in this paper, we revisit the antiferromagnetic (AF) phase diagram of the single-band three-dimensional half-filled Hubbard model on a simple cubic lattice studied within the dynamical mean field theory (DMFT). Although this problem has been investigated extensively in the literature, a comprehensive understanding of the impact of the different one- and, in particular, two-particle local correlation functions of DMFT on the AF transition temperature is still missing. We have, hence, performed a fluctuation analysis of T N with respect to different local bosonic fluctuations (charge, spin, particle-particle) contained in the two-particle vertex of DMFT. Our results indicate that, beyond weak coupling, the screening of the DMFT vertex by local fluctuations leads to an enhancement of T N with respect to a random phase approximation (RPA) like calculation where this vertex is replaced by the bare interaction. The overall suppression of T N in DMFT with respect to RPA is then solely due to the incoherence introduced by the DMFT self-energy in the one-particle Green's functions. This illustrates the Janus-faced role of the local moment formation in the DMFT solution of the Hubbard model, which leads to completely opposite effects in the one- and two-particle correlation functions.

Dynamical vertex approximation for many-electron systems with spontaneously broken SU(2) symmetry
We generalize the formalism of the dynamical vertex approximation (DΓA)—a diagrammatic extension of the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT)—to treat magnetically ordered phases. To this aim, we start by concisely illustrating the many-electron formalism for performing ladder resummations of Feynman diagrams in systems with broken SU(2) symmetry associated to ferromagnetic (FM) or antiferromagnetic (AF) order. We then analyze the algorithmic simplifications introduced by taking the local approximation of the two-particle irreducible vertex functions in the Bethe-Salpeter equations, which defines the ladder implementation of DΓA for magnetic systems. The relation of this assumption with the DMFT limit of large coordination-number/high dimensions is explicitly discussed. As a last step, we derive the expression for the ladder DΓA self-energy in the FM- and AF-ordered phases of the Hubbard model. The physics emerging in the AF-ordered case is explicitly illustrated by means of approximated calculations based on a static mean-field input for DΓA equations. The results obtained capture fundamental aspects of both metallic and insulating ground states of two-dimensional antiferromagnets, providing a reliable compass for future, more extensive applications of our approach. Furthermore, possible routes to further develop diagrammatic-based treatments of magnetic phases in correlated electron systems are briefly outlined in the Conclusions.

Driven-dissipative quantum mechanics on a lattice: Simulating a fermionic reservoir on a quantum computer
The driven-dissipative many-body problem remains one of the most challenging unsolved problems in quantum mechanics. The advent of quantum computers may provide a unique platform for efficiently simulating such driven-dissipative systems. But, there are many choices for how one can engineer the reservoir. One can simply employ ancilla qubits to act as a reservoir and then digitally simulate them via algorithmic cooling. A more attractive approach, which allows one to simulate an infinite reservoir, is to integrate out the bath degrees of freedom and describe the driven-dissipative system via a master equation, that can also be simulated on a quantum computer. In this work, we consider the particular case of noninteracting electrons on a lattice driven by an electric field and coupled to a fermionic thermostat. Then, we provide two different quantum circuits: the first one reconstructs the full dynamics of the system using Trotter steps, while the second one dissipatively prepares the final nonequilibrium steady state in a single step. We run both circuits on the IBM quantum experience. For circuit (i), we achieved up to five Trotter steps. When partial resets become available on quantum computers, we expect that the maximum simulation time can be significantly increased. Lastly, the methods developed here suggest generalizations that can be applied to simulating interacting driven-dissipative systems.
