Quantum simulation of an antiferromagnetic Ising chain with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields

Abstract. With single lattice site detection and control, the quantum gas microscope opens new possibilities for quantum simulations. It allows us to study quantum magnetism with ultracold atoms in optical lattices. We experimentally realize an antiferromagnetic Ising chain with longitudinal and transverse magnetic fields, and observe a quantum phase transition from a paramagnetic to an antiferromagnetic state.
