Course Description
This course will explore key literature regarding quantum simulation, the use of atoms and qubits to emulate complex quantum matter of relevance to condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, and quantum information processing. Advanced topics including optical lattice-based and ion-trap quantum simulation, synthetic gauge fields, low-dimensional systems, nonequilibrium quantum many-body physics, and many-body cavity QED will be addressed in a seminar format. Presentations and a final paper will be required. Prerequisites: Quantum mechanics at the advanced undergraduate or 1st-year graduate level. May be repeated for credit.
