Spin-squeezing generation with ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices in the Mott regime

Entanglement in systems with single-particle control is a well-established resource of modern quantum technology. Spin-squeezing is a great example of such. Applied in an optical lattice clock it can reduce the statistical uncertainty of spectroscopic measurements.During the seminar, I will consider the dynamic generation of spin squeezing with ultra-cold atoms with two internal states loaded into an optical lattice in the strongly interacting regime as realized with state-of-the-art experiments using a quantum gas microscope. I will show how anisotropic interactions and inhomogeneous magnetic fields generate scalable spin squeezing when their magnitudes are sufficiently small, but not negligible. The simple models for collective spin will be shown to describe the dynamics effectively. I will also discuss the effect of nonuniform filling caused by hole doping, at a microscopic level, demonstrating their limiting role in the dynamics and scaling of entanglement.

Critical Fermi surfaces of two dimensional fermionic systems

During my talk I will readdress the problem of the description of quantum criticality in 2D fermionic systems. Based on the most prominent example, nematic quantum criticality, I will describe the major physical features of the system, such as the Landau damping of collective modes or a non-Fermi liquid behaviour of single particle excitations. I will also explain the main obstacles to formulating a satisfactory theory of critical Fermi surfaces. In the second part of my talk I will present the main result of application of the functional renormalization group method to this problem.
