Quantum simulations as our quantum theatre

Prof. Enrique Solano

University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Spain

I will introduce the field of quantum simulations from a wide scientific perspective. Then, I will discuss the relevance of quantum simulations for reproducing different aspects of quantum physics: nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum dynamics, physical and unphysical quantum operations, as well as strong and ultrastrong light-matter interactions. Finally, I will give examples in the context of trapped-ion and circuit QED technologies.
