| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Beginning the second year of the project our simulation code was implemented on a 200 nodes cluster with 3 TB RAM. This allowed larger scale simulation over longer time scales. Enhanced simulations of the dynamics of a double domain nuclear spin ensemble coupled to the Nambu-Goldstone boson were undertaken with realistic parameters. The simulation reproduced the experimental observed data. Our work opens up the possibility for the exploration of novel collective behavior in solid state systems where the natural energies associated with those spins are much less than the thermal energy (published in PRB Letters).
Next, we explored a quantum battery protocol using super radiance and absorption. This protocol using dark states to achieve both super extensive capacity and power density, with spins coupled to a reservoir. Quantum correlations are essential for this to be achieved. Further, the power density scales with the number of spins N in the battery. While connected to the charger, the charged state of the battery is a steady state, stabilized through quantum interference in the open system (published in Phys. Rev. Applied).
We also continued our exploration of HQS for quantum simulation. We used our simulator to explore discrete time crystals, a novel state of matter, emerging in periodically driven quantum systems (ensembles of qubits). We found that a small amount of disorder results in network evolution that exhibits an emergent preferential attachment mechanism related to the existence of scale-free networks. This work was published in Science Advances.

Current Status of Research Progress
2: Research has progressed on the whole more than it was originally planned.
Reason
The project is on track with the 2nd-year activities completed.
We have implemented our HQS on a high performance cluster with a moving basis set to reduce the computational problem size. Further we have had the simulator exploring superradiance over time scales ranging from ns to mins in two distinct physical arrangements; namely electron spin ensembles coupled to superconducting circuits and nuclear spin ensemble coupled to the Nambu-Goldstone boson in GaAs semiconductors.
We also showed that superradiance / superabsorption in coupled HQS enables ultrafast charging of the second ensemble and slow discharge. This should allow one to realize a quantum battery.
Last all Milestones were completed. Presentations at major international conferences was delayed due to COVID.

| Strategy for Future Research Activity |
Our focus this year will be:
A. Exploring multi ensembles coupled to single/multiple baths to determine whether superradiance can enhance energy transport through a network. The concept is that one ensemble superradiantly emits while another super absorbs. This should allow energy transport faster than through normal relaxation. However, can we design the process to move energy along a chain of nodes.
B. We will be to continue our exploration of driven HQS to understand their potential for quantum simulation tasks.
[Milestone 6] Determine the potential of this tunable hybrid system to simulate superradiance effects in other physical system (Month 36)
[Milestone 7] Extend our investigation to include multiple ensembles coupled to the bath (Month 36)
