The study experimentally observed the dynamics of a single polariton and two polaritons in a two-ion chain, demonstrating the suppression of polariton hopping in the anti-Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard model. This work represents a significant step towards the development of a trapped-ion based quantum simulator for strongly interacting polaritonic systems.
We have experimentally observed the dynamics of a single polariton and two polaritons in a two-ion chain. By driving two trapped ions at a motional blue-sideband (BSB) transition, we realize the anti-Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard (JCH) model. When a single polariton exists in a trapped-ion chain, the polariton hops between the ion sites. On the other hand, when there are single polaritons at each ion site, the hopping of the polaritons is suppressed because of the polariton-polariton interaction induced by the nonlinearity of the anti-Jaynes-Cummings (JC) interaction, thereby realizing the blockade of polariton hopping in the anti-JCH model with trapped ions. Our work is a step towards the development of a trapped-ion based quantum simulator for strongly interacting polaritonic systems.
