Explore quantum simulation fundamentals in this 53-minute lecture from Princeton University Professor Waseem Bakr, who delves into the fascinating world of strongly interacting quantum systems and their emergent behaviors. Learn why classical computers struggle with simulating quantum many-body systems beyond a few dozen particles, and discover how quantum simulators serve as specialized analog quantum computers designed for condensed matter physics problems. Examine the applications of ultracold gases of atoms and molecules in quantum simulation, including both real-world material phenomena and novel quantum states unique to these systems. Gain insights into breakthrough microscopy techniques that enable single-particle observation of ultracold gases, revealing complex quantum correlations. Drawing from his pioneering work in quantum gas microscopy at Harvard and current research at Princeton, Prof. Bakr presents cutting-edge developments in quantum simulation across multiple platforms, including ultracold atoms, molecules, and Rydberg atoms.
