A Ring of Rydberg Atoms Could Test Conformal Symmetry Directly
Optimized preparation ramps shorten the route to a critical state whose two-point correlations carry the predicted functional form.
Summary
Optimized preparation ramps shorten the route to a critical state whose two-point correlations carry the predicted functional form.
The proposal arranges Rydberg atoms on a circle, measures equal-time two-point correlations and estimates the experimental snapshots needed to resolve conformal behavior. An optimized Rabi-frequency and detuning ramp reaches higher simulated fidelity in less time than profiles used in earlier experiments. Feasibility is argued from current technology; the direct experimental test has not yet been reported.
Why it matters
