Riemann zeros from Floquet engineering a trapped-ion qubit

Abstract The non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are central objects in number theory. In particular, they enable one to reproduce the prime numbers. They have also attracted the attention of physicists working in random matrix theory and quantum chaos for decades. Here we present an expe...

description Abstract The non-trivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function are central objects in number theory. In particular, they enable one to reproduce the prime numbers.
