Physikalisches Kolloquium: Prof. Dr. Monika Aidelsburger – Quantum simulation – Engineering & understanding quantum systems atom-by-atom

Titel: Quantum simulation – Engineering & understanding quantum systems atom-by-atom

Abstract:
The computational resources required to describe the full state of a quantum many-body system scale exponentially with the number of constituents.
This severely limits our ability to explore and understand the fascinating phenomena of quantum systems using classical algorithms.
Quantum simulation offers a potential route to overcome these limitations. The idea is to build a well-controlled quantum system in the lab,
which represents the problem of interest and whose properties can be studied by performing controlled measurements.
In this talk I will introduce quantum simulators based on neutral atoms that are confined in optical arrays using laser beams.
State-of-the-art experiments now generate arrays of several thousand particles, while maintaining control on the level of single atoms.
I will show how these systems can be used to study the properties of topological phases of matter and to address fundamental questions
regarding the thermalization of isolated quantum systems.
