Dirac particle represents a fundamental constituent of our nature. Simulation of Dirac particle dynamics by a controllable quantum system using quantum walks will allow us to investigate the non-classical nature of dynamics in its discrete form. In this work, starting from a modified version of one-spatial dimensional general inhomogeneous split-step discrete quantum walk we derive an effective Hamiltonian which mimics a single massive Dirac particle dynamics in curved $(1+1)$ space-time dimension coupled to $U(1)$ gauge potential---which is a forward step towards the simulation of the unification of electromagnetic and gravitational forces in lower dimension and at the single particle level. Implementation of this simulation scheme in simple qubit-system has been demonstrated. We show that the same Hamiltonian can represent $(2+1)$ space-time dimensional Dirac particle dynamics when one of the spatial momenta remains fixed. We also discuss how we can include $U(N)$ gauge potential in our scheme, in order to capture other fundamental force effects on the Dirac particle. The emergence of curvature in the two-particle split-step quantum walk has also been investigated while the particles are interacting through their entangled coin operations.

Simulations of one quantum system by an other has an implication in realization of quantum machine that can imitate any quantum system and solve problems that are not accessible to classical computers. One of the approach to engineer quantum simulations is to discretize the space-time degree of freedom in quantum dynamics and define the quantum cellular automata (QCA), a local unitary update rule on a lattice. Different models of QCA are constructed using set of conditions which are not unique and are not always in implementable configuration on any other system. Dirac Cellular Automata (DCA) is one such model constructed for Dirac Hamiltonian (DH) in free quantum field theory. Here, starting from a split-step discrete-time quantum walk (QW) which is uniquely defined for experimental implementation, we recover the DCA along with all the fine oscillations in position space and bridge the missing connection between DH-DCA-QW. We will present the contribution of the parameters resulting in the fine oscillations on the Zitterbewegung frequency and entanglement. The tuneability of the evolution parameters demonstrated in experimental implementation of QW will establish it as an efficient tool to design quantum simulator and approach quantum field theory from principles of quantum information theory.
Quantum simulation is an important way to study the Dirac particles in a general situation. Discrete quantum walk (DQW), is a powerful quantum simulation scheme, and implementable in well controllable table-top set-ups. We first identify that the conventional DQW cant exactly simulate Dirac Cellular Automaton (DCA), a discretized theory of free Dirac Hamiltonian (DH). We found some choice of coin parameters of the split-step (SS) DQW, a generalization of DQW can fully simulate single-particle DCA. Next we question whether the same SS-DQW can simulate dynamics of free Dirac particle with extra degrees of freedom like colors, flavors besides the spin or chirality. One such example is Neutrino oscillation. By moving from the U(2) coined SS-DQW to the U(6) coined SS-DQW we have simulated the exact probability profile of Neutrino flavor transitions. We further probe towards simulating single particle massive DH in presence of background potentials and space-time curvature. By using a SS-DQW with position-time dependent coin parameters, and we realize that it will give us an unbounded effective Hamiltonian, at the continuum limit of position-time. So we have introduced a modified version of SS-DQW which will produce a bounded effective Hamiltonian. This modified SS-DQW with U(2) coin operations produces single-particle massive DH in presence of abelian gauge potentials and space-time curvature. Introducing higher dimensional---U(N) coin operations in the modified SS-DQW we can include non-abelian potentials in the same DH. In order to simulate two-particle DH in presence of curved space-time and external potentials, we have used two particle modified SS-DQW, where the shift operations act separately on each particle, the coin operations which act simultaneously on both particles contain all kinds of interactions.
Here we present neutrino oscillation in the frame-work of quantum walks. Starting from a one spatial dimensional discrete-time quantum walk we present a scheme of evolutions that will simulate neutrino oscillation. The set of quantum walk parameters which is required to reproduce the oscillation probability profile obtained in both, long range and short range neutrino experiment is explicitly presented. Our scheme to simulate three-generation neutrino oscillation from quantum walk evolution operators can be physically realized in any low energy experimental set-up with access to control a single six-level system, a multiparticle three-qubit or a qubit-qutrit system. We also present the entanglement between spins and position space, during neutrino propagation that will quantify the wave function delocalization around instantaneous average position of the neutrino. This work will contribute towards understanding neutrino oscillation in the framework of the quantum information perspective.
We present a systematic study of quantum system compression for the evolution of generic many-body problems. The necessary numerical simulations of such systems are seriously hindered by the exponential growth of the Hilbert space dimension with the number of particles. For a emph{constant} Hamiltonian system of Hilbert space dimension $n$ whose frequencies range from $f_{min}$ to $f_{max}$, we show via a proper orthogonal decomposition, that for a run-time $T$, the dominant dynamics are compressed in the neighborhood of a subspace whose dimension is the smallest integer larger than the time-bandwidth product $delf=(f_{max}-f_{min})T$. We also show how the distribution of initial states can further compress the system dimension. Under the stated conditions, the time-bandwidth estimate reveals the emph{existence} of an effective compressed model whose dimension is derived solely from system properties and not dependent on the particular implementation of a variational simulator, such as a machine learning system, or quantum device. However, finding an efficient solution procedure emph{is} dependent on the simulator implementation{color{black}, which is not discussed in this paper}. In addition, we show that the compression rendered by the proper orthogonal decomposition encoding method can be further strengthened via a multi-layer autoencoder. Finally, we present numerical illustrations to affirm the compression behavior in time-varying Hamiltonian dynamics in the presence of external fields. We also discuss the potential implications of the findings for machine learning tools to efficiently solve the many-body or other high dimensional Schr{o}dinger equations.
Conversion of vacuum fluctuations into real particles was first predicted by L. Parker considering an expanding universe, followed in S. Hawkings work on black hole radiation. Since their experimental observation is challenging, analogue systems have gained attention in the verification of this concept. Here we propose an experimental set-up consisting of two adjacent piezoelectric semiconducting layers, one of them carrying dynamic quantum dots (DQDs), and the other being p-doped with an attached gate on top, which introduces a space-dependent layer conductivity. The propagation of surface acoustic waves (SAWs) on the latter layer is governed by a wave equation with an effective metric. In the frame of the DQDs, this space- and time-dependent metric possesses a sonic horizon for SAWs and resembles that of a two dimensional non-rotating and uncharged black hole to some extent. The non-thermal steady state of the DQD spin indicates particle creation in form of piezophonons.
