Quantum Simulation 2019
workshop
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
