Quantum Simulation with Ultracold Atoms in Optical Lattices

Join a comprehensive quantum physics seminar where Professor Immanuel Bloch explores the evolution and current state of quantum simulations using ultracold atoms in optical lattices. Discover how Richard Feynman's 40-year-old vision of quantum computing for complex physical calculations has transformed into a dynamic research field spanning multiple platforms. Learn about the groundbreaking developments in ultracold atoms and optical lattices over the past 20 years, including new tools for probing quantum phases with single particle resolution and control. Explore advanced concepts such as hidden order parameters, entanglement properties, full counting statistics, and topological features in quantum systems. Gain insights into measurement and control techniques for strongly correlated electronic systems from Bloch, a distinguished scientific director at the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics and chair of experimental physics at Ludwig Maximilians University, whose pioneering work has earned numerous international accolades including the Körber European Science Prize and Harvey Prize.
