SOLVAY WORKSHOP
"Quantum Simulation 2019"
Brussels, 18 - 20 February 2019 (ULB - Campus Plaine - Solvay Room)
Quantum simulation denotes the approach by which controllable many-body quantum systems are designed and analysed in view of revealing complex and intriguing quantum phenomena. This fast
growing field of research gathers a huge community of scientists specialized in various branches of quantum physics, including condensed-matter physics, atomic and molecular physics, quantum
optics, quantum information and high-energy physics.
The Workshop will assemble a unique group of leading experts, who significantly contributed to the development of quantum simulation, and/or closely-related topics, in the recent years.
The subjects discussed at the Workshop include:
- Cold atoms in optical lattices, Rydberg atoms and cold molecules
- Physics of trapped ions
- Hybrid quantum systems
- Quantum fluids of light: Photonic crystals, polaritons, and cavity quantum electrodynamics
- Superconducting circuits and quantum-dot-based spin qubits
- Quantum Hall physics, topological states of matter and strongly-correlated systems
- Quantum many-body dynamics, non-equilibrium dynamics, many-body localization
- Quantum simulation of lattice gauge theories
