Quantum simulation with cold atoms - From spins to matterwaves

Dr. Martin Gaerttner
Kirchhoff-Institut für Physik, Universität Heidelberg

Quantum simulation is the idea to overcome the problem of quantum complexity by using special purpose quantum computers to emulate the quantum many-body dynamics of interest. Such quantum simulation experiments have been realized in the last decade using various platforms, including trapped ions and ultracold atoms. Nevertheless, many open questions remain about how exactly these systems can contribute to our understanding of the dynamics of strongly interacting quantum systems and how we can use them to make faithful predictions. I will discuss recent advances in detecting coherence and entanglement in artificial quantum magnets and ultracold atomic clouds.
