Dirac Equation in ( 1+1 )-Dimensional Curved Spacetime and the Multiphoton Quantum Rabi Model

Abstract: We introduce an exact mapping between the Dirac equation in (1+1)-dimensional curved spacetime (DCS) and a multiphoton quantum Rabi model (QRM). A background of a (1+1)-dimensional black hole requires a QRM with one- and two-photon terms that can be implemented in a trapped ion for the quantum simulation of Dirac particles in curved spacetime. We illustrate our proposal with a numerical analysis of the free fall of a Dirac particle into a (1+1)-dimensional black hole, and find that the Zitterbewegung effect, m… Show more

“…Analogs of event horizons and Hawking radiation [9] have been studied both exper-imentally and theoretically using acoustic waves [9,10], ultrashort optical pulses [11], Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) [12,13], and exciton-polariton condensates [14]. Recently methods have also been proposed for realizing the Dirac equation in curved space times using ion traps [15,16], optical waveguides [17], and optical lattices with position-dependent hopping and non-Abelian artificial gauge fields [18].…”

“…[ 95,99 ] Other nonlinear process, such as quantum Rabi–Stark model, [ 64,100–103 ] can also cause spectrum collapse. [ 101,102 ] As extensions, bias two‐photon QRM [ 104 ] and multiphoton QRM [ 28,98,105,106 ] have also been explored.…”

“…More recently, Pedernales et al . proposed that a background of a (1 + 1)-dimensional black hole requires a QRM with both one- and two-photon terms that can be implemented in a trapped ion for the quantum simulation of Dirac particles in curved spacetime 15 . So the QRM with both one- and two-photon couplings is not only a generic model in the circuit QED and trapped ions, but also has applications in other realm of physics.…”
