Quantum simulation with laser-cooled trapped ions

Rajibul Islam, Institute for Quantum Computing

Laser-cooled trapped ions are among the most versatile experimental platforms for the simulation of non-trivial quantum Hamiltonians. What distinguishes this platform from others is the extent to which it is experimentally possible to control this system at the level of individual particles and interactions between them.

Out-of-equilibrium dynamics in AMO quantum simulators

Andrew Daley, University of Strathclyde

Over the past few years, the possibility to control and measure atomic and molecular systems time-dependently has generated a lot of progress in exploring out-of-equilibrium dynamics for strongly interacting many-particle systems. This connects directly to fundamental questions relating to the relaxation of such systems to equilibrium, as well as the spreading of correlations and build-up of entanglement.

Special seminar: Marco Piani

Operational characterization of quantum properties

Marco Piani, University of Strathclyde

 Quantum features like quantum superposition and quantum correlations — the latter comprising, but not limited to entanglement — are both of foundational and applicative interest. We develop tools to characterize such features operationally, looking for ways to detect, quantify, and utilize them. Some recent results I will report on regard the use of such features in the discrimination of physical processes, a task within the area of quantum metrology.
