Title: Analog-digital quantum simulations with trapped ions
Abstract: Quantum simulators combining Hamiltonian evolution with gate operations represent a powerful approach towards probing many-body physics with NISQ devices. We apply a platform based on a linear chain of trapped 171 Yb+ ions to demonstrate some of the uses of this hybrid strategy, such as characterizing slow correlation growth arising from Stark many-body localization, creating and probing a prethermal discrete time crystal, and expanding the simulation toolbox with Floquet Hamiltonian engineering.
