Many Body Dynamics of Quantum Circuits - Lecture 2

Explore the intricacies of quantum circuit dynamics in this lecture from the "Periodically and Quasi-Periodically Driven Complex Systems" program. Delve into the many-body aspects of quantum circuits as presented by Austen Lamacraft. Learn about the interplay between closed quantum systems with time-dependent Hamiltonians, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Gain insights into topics such as terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems. Understand the importance of quantum simulation experiments and their interpretation in scenarios where brute force numerical calculations fail. This 58-minute lecture, hosted by the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, is part of a program bringing together experts from various fields to foster valuable interactions and advance our understanding of complex quantum systems.
