Organizers :Michel Brune and Jean Dalibard
Quantum simulation aims to develop platforms capable of resolving questions that arise when studying a complex system. These questions, often simple to formulate, are difficult to address analytically or numerically. Simulation of the system by another, governed by the same laws of evolution but more controllable, then provides an original approach to the problem. Assemblies of neutral atoms, possibly carried in a Rydberg state, are very promising as they allow fine control over the geometry and strength of interactions. The speakers will review this new field of research and outline its main prospects for development.
The symposium is in English.
