  • 霍尔管是模拟量子霍尔效应的重要模型, 却至今没有在超导量子电路中实现过. 超导量子电路是宏观调控量子效应的优秀平台. 本文利用超导量子电路系统的高度可调性, 在超导量子电路系统中设计出了具有周期性边界条件的三条超导比特链. 之后利用交流微波对每个比特分别进行驱动, 构造出人造霍尔管. 人造霍尔管中的人造规范场可以通过选择合适的微波相位来进行独立调控. 发现了人造霍尔管中存在不同特征的手性流, 分别为Meissner流和不同面上的涡旋流. 为了判别这些流的存在, 定义了四个序参量, 并在参数空间中画出了不同流之间量子相变的完整相图. 最后, 提出了制备人造霍尔管基态以及探测基态手性流的可行性实验方案. 这一研究丰富了霍尔管的量子流, 并且在已有的实验系统中能够很快实现, 为探索新的量子相提供了新的途径.

     

    Hall tube is an important model to simulate the quantum Hall effect. However it hasn't been realized in superconducting circuits which have emerged as a promising platform for macro-controlling quantum effect. Taking advantage of the fine tunability of superconducting circuits, the three-chain superconducting transmon qubits with periodic boundary condition are designed in this paper. For constructing a synthetic Hall tube, ac magnetic fluxes are introduced to drive each transmon qubit. The gauge field emerged in this synthetic Hall tube can be tuned independently by properly choosing the driving phases. Then the ground-state chiral currents are discovered in this synthetic Hall tube, which are Meissner current on xy plane (xy-M), vortex current on xy plane (xy-V), vortex current on xz plane (xz-V), and vortex current on both xy and xz planes (DV). For distinguishing these chiral currents, four order parameters J_C//, J_AB (J_BC), and J_CA are defined. Then the ground-state quantum phase diagrams are mapped out. The emergence of the different quantum phases is due to the competition between the coupling strengths \tildet and t_CA. The Meissner and vortex currents emerging in this synthetic Hall tube also emerge in type II superconductor, which can generate an opposite field to weaken the influence of the applied field. Thus this synthetic Hall tube can be used as a diamagnet. At last we consider the influence of the imperfections in device fabrication. We proof when the strength of the imperfection is not large enough, the quantum phase diagrams shown in this paper remain valid. Moreover, the possible experimental observations of the ground-state chiral currents are addressed. The ground state of this synthetic Hall tube can be generated by applying microwave pulses. Then the corresponding density matrix can be constructed by the quantum state tomography. After constructing the density matrix, the order parameters can be obtained by calculating the trace. These results enrich the quantum currents in Hall tube and provide a new route to explore novel quantum phases.
