Event description: 

“Quantum Simulation and Quantum Networking with Neutral Atoms”

Quantum control of many-body systems has reached unprecedented sophistication in recent years. Particles in a system can be individually addressed, detected, and even rearranged in real time. A variety of quantum platforms have been heavily investigated toward scalable quantum information processing, precision measurements and quantum simulation. These platforms have tremendous potential to impact fundamental and applied physics research.

Among others, ultracold atoms is a promising candidate which offers clean and precise control of their configuration, interactions and even reactions. Recent experiments with atomic quantum gases helped elucidate fundamental issues in condensed matter, nuclear and cosmological physics. In addition, I will outline new frontiers on quantum chemistry and quantum networking by sharing entangled photons between quantum platforms.
